CVE-2025-54068: Laravel Livewire v3 unauthenticated remote code execution via property hydration
Laravel · Livewire
Livewire v3 through v3.6.3 mishandles hydration of certain component property updates, allowing code injection. Unauthenticated attackers can achieve remote command execution when a component is mounted and configured in a specific way. The flaw is unique to Livewire v3 and is patched in v3.6.4.
Description
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.

Automated analysis
critical priorityUnauthenticated remote code execution with a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.2, KEV listing and near-certain EPSS probability makes this an urgent patch.
What it is
Livewire v3 through v3.6.3 mishandles hydration of certain component property updates, allowing code injection. Unauthenticated attackers can achieve remote command execution when a component is mounted and configured in a specific way. The flaw is unique to Livewire v3 and is patched in v3.6.4.
Impact
An attacker who reaches a suitably configured component can execute arbitrary commands on the server, leading to full compromise of the application and its data. No authentication or user interaction is needed.
Attack surface
Reachable over the network through Livewire component update requests; no authentication or user interaction is required. Exploitation is constrained to applications where a component is mounted and configured in the particular way the flaw requires.
Exploitation
CVE-2025-54068 is listed in CISA KEV with a due date of 2026-04-03, and EPSS gives a 30-day probability of 0.97072 (99.888th percentile), indicating active exploitation is expected or observed. No ransomware campaign use is documented in the record.
What to do
- Upgrade Livewire to v3.6.4 or later immediately; no workarounds are available.
- Inventory all Laravel applications using Livewire v3 and confirm the running version.
- Where immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict or disable exposed Livewire component endpoints until patched.
- Monitor vendor advisory GHSA-29cq-5w36-x7w3 and CISA KEV guidance for updates.
Detection
- Review web server and application logs for anomalous Livewire update requests, especially unexpected property payloads.
- Alert on outbound network connections or child processes spawned by the PHP/web server process.
- Hunt for signs of post-exploitation activity such as new files, scheduled tasks or modified application code on Laravel hosts.
