Over 600 Laravel Apps Exposed to Remote Code Execution Due to Leaked APP_KEYs on GitHub

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a serious security issue that allows leaked Laravel APP_KEYs to be weaponized to gain remote code execution capabilities on hundreds of applications. "Laravel's APP_KEY, essential for encrypting sensitive data, is often leaked publicly (e.g., on GitHub)," GitGuardian said. "If attackers get access to this key, they can exploit a deserialization flaw to

GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w: static-alloc vulnerability leads to uninitialized read after allocating MemBump

The affected function, `MemBump::new()`, would allocate memory without initializing it. Subsequently calling the created value's various `alloc`methods would then read and write the start of that memory as a `Cell` which isundefined behavior. Instead, it should zero initialize the start of the allocated memory. For instance, some values could violate the internal invariants of the type and cause an assertion failure. Nevertheless, no deterministic read is known tocause further uninitialized memory to be exposed. Affected downstream users that can not upgrade are advised to call `MemBump::reset` immediately after allocation to manually perform the missing write of the counter best-as-possible. The flaw was corrected in commit d8d6a7d096d3aaafd963b356a8f1bbd8d26fd967 by zeroing the Cell at the start of the allocated memory.
