Important Security Update

Laravel 5.4.22 patches a security vulnerability in the Laravel 5.4 release series that allows phishing attempts on users of the application. Using the password reset system, malicious users can attempt to trick your users into entering their login credentials into a separate application that they control.

Since the password reset notification uses the host of the incoming request to build the password reset URL, the host of the password reset URL may be spoofed. If users do not notice that they are not on their intended application’s domain, they may accidentally enter their login credentials into a malicious application.

We encourage all users to review the 5.4.22 security release and upgrade their applications immediately.
