Upgrade laravel/framework to 6.20.14
laravel/framework fixed: 7.30.4 
Upgrade laravel/framework to 7.30.4

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for laravel/framework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-jwvj-pwww-3mj5, inspect your project dependencies for Laravel/framework:

inspect dependencies for laravel/framework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Laravel/framework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.20.14), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Laravel/framework, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

This is a follow-up to the security advisory https://github.com/laravel/framework/security/advisories/GHSA-3p32-j457-pg5x which addresses a few additional edge cases. If a request is crafted where a field that is normally a non-array value is an array, and that input is not validated or cast to its expected type before being passed to the query builder, an unexpected number of query bindings can be added to the query. In some situations, this will simply lead to no results being returned by the query builder; however, it is possible certain queries could be affected in a way that causes the query to return unexpected results.
