Summary

CVE-2025-54068 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Laravel Livewire. Its CVSS base score is 9.2 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Livewire, a full-stack framework for Laravel, contains a code injection vulnerability in version 3 up to and including 3.6.3. The flaw arises during hydration of certain component property updates and enables remote command execution when a component is mounted and configured in a specific manner. The issue is restricted to the v3 branch and does not affect earlier major versions.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the weakness over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation grants full remote command execution on the affected server, provided the target component meets the required configuration conditions.

The vulnerability is addressed in Livewire 3.6.4; the project’s advisory and release notes state there are no known workarounds and urge immediate upgrade. The CVE is also listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Public references further associate the flaw with tooling and indicators linked to an Iranian threat actor, and the EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.6406, indicating sustained exploitation interest after disclosure.

Vulnerability Data

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…

more

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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
