[Key Takeaways](#key-takeaways) Filament v3.3.56 Released ------------------------- On 5 October 2026, [danharrin](https://github.com/danharrin) tagged **Filament v3.3.56**, a focused patch release for the v3.x branch. The release contains two bug fixes and a handful of dependency bumps. If your application handles file uploads through Filament, at least one of these changes is directly relevant to you. --- ### What Changed #### Fix: Use File Hash Names for Uploaded Files PR [\#20582](https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/pull/20582), authored by danharrin, changes how Filament names files when they are uploaded. Previously, under certain conditions, uploaded files could be stored with names that were predictable or collided with existing files. The fix switches to **file hash-based names**, which are derived from the file content itself. This approach has two practical benefits: - **Collision avoidance** — two different uploads of the same file produce the same hash name, preventing duplicate storage. Two different files will almost never collide. - **Security** — hash-based names are not guessable from sequential IDs or original filenames, reducing the surface area for enumeration attacks. No configuration change is required on your end; the behaviour is applied automatically within Filament's upload handling layer. #### Fix: Valid Livewire Upload References in Restriction Tests PR [\#20400](https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/pull/20400), contributed by community member [people-sea](https://github.com/people-sea), corrects how Livewire upload references are constructed inside Filament's restriction tests. Invalid references in tests could cause false negatives — tests that should fail would pass, or vice versa — masking real access-control issues in file upload components. With this fix, the test helpers now use **valid Livewire upload references**, making restriction tests reliable again. If you write Pest or PHPUnit tests against Filament file upload restrictions, update to v3.3.56 to ensure your test suite accurately reflects production behaviour. #### Dependency Bumps Dependabot also landed three routine CI dependency updates: - `zizmorcore/zizmor-action` bumped from `0.6.2` → `0.6.3` → `0.6.4` - `WyriHaximus/github-action-get-previous-tag` bumped from `2.0.0` → `2.1.0` These are GitHub Actions used in Filament's own CI pipeline and have no effect on your application code. --- ### How to Upgrade Update via Composer: ```bash composer update filament/filament ``` Verify the installed version: ```bash php artisan about | grep -i filament ``` No additional migration or config publishing step is required for this patch release. --- ### Key Takeaways - **File uploads now use hash-based names** — better collision resistance and reduced guessability. - **Livewire upload references in restriction tests are now valid** — your access-control tests will behave correctly. - **CI dependencies updated** — no impact on application code. - **Drop-in upgrade** — `composer update filament/filament` is all you need. --- Source: [Filament v3.3.56 on GitHub](https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/releases/tag/v3.3.56) - [filament](https://www.msaied.com/articles?search=filament) - [laravel](https://www.msaied.com/articles?search=laravel) - [livewire](https://www.msaied.com/articles?search=livewire) - [file-upload](https://www.msaied.com/articles?search=file-upload) - [bug-fix](https://www.msaied.com/articles?search=bug-fix) Frequently asked questions --------------------------- What does the file hash name fix in Filament v3.3.56 actually change?Filament now derives uploaded file names from the file's content hash rather than using potentially predictable names. This prevents filename collisions and makes stored file names harder to enumerate or guess. Do I need to change any configuration after upgrading to Filament v3.3.56?No. Both bug fixes are applied internally within Filament. Running `composer update filament/filament` is sufficient; no config publishing or migration is required. Why were invalid Livewire upload references in restriction tests a problem?Invalid references caused restriction tests to produce unreliable results — tests that should catch access-control violations could silently pass. The fix ensures test helpers use valid Livewire upload references, so your tests accurately reflect production behaviour. ![Mohamed Said](https://cdn.msaied.com/01M22N44A70A5MC2S599JP0MPH.webp)About the author ---------------- [Mohamed Said](https://www.msaied.com#person)Senior Backend Engineer specializing in Laravel, scalable SaaS platforms, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
