How to fix?

Upgrade laravel/framework to version 5.6.30, 5.5.41 or higher.

Overview

laravel/framework is a PHP framework for web artisans.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). It might occur as a result of an unserialize call on a potentially untrusted X-XSRF-TOKEN value. This involves the decrypt method in Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php and PendingBroadcast in gadgetchains/Laravel/RCE/3/chain.php in phpggc. The attacker must know the application key, which normally would never occur, but could happen if the attacker previously had privileged access or successfully accomplished a previous attack.
