Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Versions of the package spatie/browsershot from 0.0.0 are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the setUrl() function due to a missing restriction on user input, enabling attackers to access localhost and list all of its directories.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The spatie/browsershot package versions 0.0.0 and later contain an SSRF vulnerability in the setUrl() function. Due to missing input validation on the URL parameter, attackers can supply arbitrary URLs to access internal services, localhost resources, and list directory contents on internal systems.

MitigationImplement strict URL validation in setUrl() to enforce allowed schemes (https only), use an allowlist of permitted domains, and explicitly block requests to localhost, 127.0.0.1, and private/internal IP ranges (RFC 1918 addresses).

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if spatie/browsershot is installed
    Check your project's composer.json for spatie/browsershot in the require section, or run 'composer show spatie/browsershot' to list the installed version
    Affected if The package is present in the project dependencies at any version 0.0.0 or higher
  2. Locate setUrl() usage in codebase
    Search your codebase for calls to setUrl() method, such as 'Browsershot::url()' or '$browsershot->setUrl()'
    Affected if The setUrl() method is called anywhere in the application code
  3. Determine if URL input is user-controlled
    Trace the parameter passed to setUrl() - check if it originates from request parameters ($_GET, $_POST, request()->input(), etc.) or other external sources
    Affected if The URL parameter comes from user input, API requests, or any untrusted source without validation
  4. Check for existing URL validation logic
    Search for validation functions, allowlists, or sanitization code that processes URLs before they reach setUrl(), such as filter_var(), custom validation methods, or whitelist arrays
    Affected if No validation exists, or validation allows http://, file://, or internal hostnames (localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.)
  5. Verify network isolation
    Review server/network configuration to confirm whether the server running browsershot can initiate connections to internal resources or localhost
    Affected if The server has network access to internal services, local ports, or private IP ranges that should not be exposed

A user is affected if their application uses browsershot's setUrl() with URLs derived from untrusted input without validation or network restrictions.

Mitigation
