Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Laravel's laravel/framework package, versions before 5.5.40 and from 5.6.0 before 5.6.15, has an Encrypter component that can return false instead of raising an error when decryption fails. An attacker who can modify an encrypted payload before it is decrypted can trigger this, and the impact depends on whether the application compares the result loosely. Upgrade to 5.5.40 or 5.6.15 or later.
