Orchid is a Laravel package that allows application development of back-office applications, admin/user panels, and dashboards. A vulnerability present starting in version 14.0.0-alpha4 and prior to version 14.5.0 is related to the deserialization of untrusted data from the _state query parameter, which can result in remote code execution. The issue has been addressed in version 14.5.0. Users are advised to upgrade their software to this version or any subsequent versions that include the patch. There are no known workarounds.
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid.

It is often convenient to serialize objects for communication or to save them for later use. However, deserialized data or code can often be modified without using the provided accessor functions if it does not use cryptography to protect itself. Furthermore, any cryptography would still be client-side security – which is a dangerous security assumption. Data that is untrusted can not be trusted to be well-formed. When developers place no restrictions on “gadget chains,” or series of instances and method invocations that can self-execute during the deserialization process (i.e., before the object is returned to the caller), it is sometimes possible for attackers to leverage them to perform unauthorized actions, like generating a shell.
