Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in Laravel Pulse that could allow remote code execution through the public remember() method in the Laravel\Pulse\Livewire\Concerns\RemembersQueries trait. This method is accessible via Livewire components and can be exploited to call arbitrary callables within the application.

Impact

The callable is a function or static method
The callable has no parameters or no strict parameter types

Vulnerable Components

The remember(callable $query, string $key = '') method in Laravel\Pulse\Livewire\Concerns\RemembersQueries
Affects all Pulse card components that use this trait

Attack Vectors

The vulnerability can be exploited through Livewire component interactions, for example:

wire:click="remember('\\Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Config::all', 'config')"
