Browsershot Path Traversal
Date: 2025-02
Affected: composer/spatie/browsershot
Attack vector: path-traversal
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: High
CVE: CVE-2025-1022
CWE: CWE-20
CWE-22
CVSS: 8.2 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)

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.
