CVE-2026-53933 Details
Description
Maravel, a PHP framework oriented towards dependency injection, prior to version 10.73.1 has a side-channel information disclosure issue. When a route was compiled with dynamic placeholders (e.g., `/api/v1/users/{id}`), the raw string placeholder key was mistakenly registered into the flat static route checklist. An attacker scanning endpoints could intentionally pass the literal template syntax (e.g., `GET /api/v1/users/{id}`) to force an unexpected match against the static map. Because the dynamic tree engine was bypassed, no arguments were captured. This forced modern PHP 8+ versions to throw a native `ArgumentCountError`, resulting in a 500 Internal Server Error instead of a uniform 404 Not Found. By tracking which fuzz patterns exploded into a 500 error, a malicious actor could programmatically profile and map out internal route parameter names and controller schemas. Version 10.73.1 contains a patch. As a workaround, mitigate this side-channel leak by implementing a defensive check in a global middleware. This will reject any literal brace patterns before they reach the router engine.
A side-channel information disclosure vulnerability has been identified in the Maravel PHP framework, prior to version 10.73.1. The issue arises when routes are compiled with dynamic placeholders, such as '/api/v1/users/{id}'. The framework mistakenly registers the raw string placeholder key into a static route checklist. This flaw allows an attacker to scan endpoints and pass literal template syntax to force an unexpected match against the static route map. As a result, the dynamic routing engine is bypassed, and no arguments are captured. Instead, modern PHP versions (8 and above) throw an 'ArgumentCountError', leading to a 500 Internal Server Error, rather than a standard 404 Not Found. By monitoring which patterns trigger a 500 error, an attacker could potentially profile and map internal route parameters and controller schemas.
Users can upgrade to Maravel version 10.73.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. Alternatively, implement a defensive check in a global middleware to reject any literal brace patterns before they reach the router engine.
