Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Laravel Reverb versions prior to 1.7.0 are vulnerable when horizontal scaling is enabled, because data received from Redis PubSub is passed to PHP's unserialize() without restricting which classes can be instantiated. An attacker who can reach the Redis server, which is often deployed without authentication, may be able to achieve remote code execution. Upgrade laravel/reverb to 1.7.0 or later; if that is not possible, require a strong Redis password and restrict Redis to a private network or loopback, or set REVERB_SCALING_ENABLED=false on single-node deployments.
