Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-295.
Summary
The alexpechkarev/google-maps Laravel package through 12.16 disables TLS certificate verification by default because its bundled config sets ssl_verify_peer to FALSE. An on-path attacker can present any certificate to intercept Google Maps web-service requests, steal the API key from the query string, and tamper with responses. The flaw is improper certificate validation (CWE-295), and exploitation requires a network position between the server and Google.
