For Laravel, PHP2Shell remediation requires patching the PHP runtime. The application version helps identify compatibility blockers; it cannot establish exploitability or prove that either CVE is fixed.

Laravel - Remove blockers to patch PHP2Shell
For an inherited Laravel application, recover composer.lock before changing constraints. Update Illuminate packages as a compatible set and follow each intervening major upgrade guide. Check Horizon, authentication packages, Carbon and filesystem adapters separately. A working home page does not validate serialized queue jobs: drain or coordinate workers, deploy matching code, and restart long-running processes after the interpreter change.

Verify both CVE fixes in the PHP actually serving this site. Replace or restart old Web workers, queue workers and replicas. A working homepage or a newer CLI binary is insufficient evidence.
