97
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-15133 is a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Laravel Framework versions through 5.5.40 and 5.6.x through 5.6.29. It stems from an insecure deserialization of a potentially untrusted X-XSRF-TOKEN value, specifically within the decrypt method. Exploitation requires knowledge of the application key, which is a high prerequisite, but the impact is severe, allowing for full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vulnerability is actively exploited, has a Metasploit module available, and has garnered significant community and media attention, including its association with the Androxgh0st botnet.
