CVE-2025-1022Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Local file disclosure via slashless file URI

Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Aug 23, 2026

Path traversal in Spatie Browsershot before 5.0.5 allows remote attackers to read local files through crafted HTML input. The setHtml method searches only for file URI forms containing slashes, so Chrome resolves a slashless file: path embedded in an object or iframe. The consuming application must pass attacker-controlled HTML to Browsershot::html(); exploitation exposes files readable by the rendering process.
