id: CVE-2017-16894
info:
name: Laravel <5.5.21 - Information Disclosure
author: j4vaovo
severity: high
description: |
Laravel through 5.5.21 is susceptible to information disclosure. An attacker can obtain sensitive information such as externally usable passwords via a direct request for the /.env URI. NOTE: CVE pertains only to the writeNewEnvironmentFileWith function in src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/KeyGenerateCommand.php, which uses file_put_contents without restricting .env permissions. The .env filename is not used exclusively by Laravel.
impact: |
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain sensitive information from the application.
remediation: |
Upgrade Laravel to version 5.5.21 or higher to fix the information disclosure vulnerability.
