Yeah its just a browser behavior, not any issue from laravel side but this could be a security issue. Here is how i solved it,

1. Create new middleware

php artisan make: middleware PreventBackHistory

2. Replace middleware function handle

    $response = $next($request);
    $response->headers->set('Cache-Control','nocache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate');
    $response->headers->set('Pragma','no-cache');
    $response->headers->set('Expires','Sun, 02 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT');
    return $response;

3. Include path in Kernal

'prevent-back-history' => \App\Http\Middleware\PreventBackHistory::class

4. Update Routes

Route::group(['middleware' => ['prevent-back-history','otherMiddlewares']]

It will work for you!
