DescriptionCVE.org

Livewire is a full-stack framework for Laravel. From 3.0.0-beta.1 until 3.8.3 and 4.3.4, the dot-notated query-string parser in js/plugins/history/index.js, including fromQueryString() and insertDotNotatedValueIntoData(), accepts the __proto__, constructor, and prototype path segments and creates inherited objects. Client-side state handlers then access effects.html, effects.js, effects.xjs, and effects.scripts without Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(), allowing inherited attacker-controlled state to be treated as trusted effects. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a URL that, when opened by a user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the affected application's origin. Exploitation requires user interaction and does not bypass server-side authorization or grant privileges beyond the affected user. This issue is fixed in versions 3.8.3 and 4.3.4.

AnalysisAI

Prototype pollution in Livewire's client-side query-string parser enables reflected cross-site scripting against applications running versions 3.0.0-beta.1 through 3.8.2 or 4.0.0 through 4.3.3. The dot-notated URL parser in js/plugins/history/index.js accepts __proto__, constructor, and prototype as path segments, injecting attacker-controlled values into Object.prototype; multiple effect handlers then read effects.html, effects.js, effects.xjs, and effects.scripts without hasOwnProperty guards, treating inherited values as trusted server-delivered directives and executing arbitrary JavaScript in the application's origin. …
