Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions spatie/browsershot versions prior to 5.0.1

Description The issue is related to improper input validation due to incorrect URL validation through the setUrl method. An attacker can exploit this by using leading whitespace (%20) before the file:// protocol, resulting in Local File Inclusion. This allows the attacker to read sensitive files on the server.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.0.1, update to version 5.0.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the setUrl method to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using leading whitespace before the file:// protocol in URLs passed to the setUrl method until the issue is resolved.
