GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2
Laravel Pulse Allows Remote Code Execution via Unprotected Query Method
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
laravel/pulseReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
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. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
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
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-8vwh-pr89-4mw2 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
