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
An authenticated user with access to Laravel Pulse dashboard can execute arbitrary code by calling any function or static method that meets the following criteria:
- 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 inLaravel\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')"

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for laravel/pulse, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update laravel/pulse to 1.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
