20 year old me wouldn’t have been able to predict that in a couple of decades I’d be spending my Friday night tessellating Christmas decorations of our Olympic breakdancer on to a 3D Printer build plate. But I also realised that 20 year old me probably wouldn’t have been unhappy about it.

I've joined the CVE hype-train! 🤣

Ok, in all seriousness, this is an issue if you have register_argc_argv=On. It's trivial to exploit and can unlock dev/debug helpers. 😱

GO UPDATE!
Laravel Security Notice: Laravel Environment Manipulation via Query String
[Notice #3] Update your Laravel version and ensure `register_argc_argv` is disabled non-CLI commands!

#Laravel Peeps, what is your modern framework of choice for a SEO friendly frontend to tie into an existing PHP/laravel backend?

Currently eyeing off NextJS mainly for its (perceived) maturity. It seems to be ticking the boxes so far for this use case. (Custom ecommerce)
