Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-54068 is a remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability found in Livewire, a full-stack framework for Laravel. Specifically, it affects Livewire v3 versions up to and including v3.6.3. The vulnerability stems from how certain component property updates are handled during hydration, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires a component to be mounted and configured in a particular way but does not require authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability lies in the `hydrateForUpdate` method within the `Livewire\Mechanisms\HandleComponents\HandleComponents` class. A specially crafted update payload can bypass validation and sanitization during the hydration process, causing the framework to interpret untrusted input as executable code. This issue has been patched in Livewire v3.6.4, and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version or later as soon as possible. There are no known workarounds.
