CVE-2025-1022

• Severity: high (CVSS 8.2 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known

• Weakness: CWE-20

Description

Versions of the package spatie/browsershot before 5.0.5 are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in the setHtml function, invoked by Browsershot::html(), which can be bypassed by omitting the slashes in the file URI (e.g., file:../../../../etc/passwd). This is due to missing validations of the user input that should be blocking file URI schemes (e.g., file:// and file:/) in the HTML content. **Note:** Further analysis has identified additional proof-of-concept exploits leveraging the vulnerable function. Developers using this package should ensure proper input validation to mitigate potential risks, as the issue remains unaddressed.

Affected products

• spatie/browsershot: before 5.0.5 — fixed in 5.0.5

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: spatie/browsershot 5.0.5. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
