🚀 Features

✅ Detects risky environment variables (APP_DEBUG=true, missing APP_KEY, etc.)
✅ Scans for insecure configuration values (CORS *, SESSION_SECURE=false, QUEUE=sync, etc.)
✅ Validates HTTPS usage in URLs and cookies
✅ Generates CLI or Markdown reports for CI/CD pipelines
✅ Includes strict mode (--strict) for automated fail conditions in CI
✅ Lightweight and dependency-free — works out of the box

📦 Installation

composer require fragly/laravel-security-tools --dev

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Alternatively, you can register it manually in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    Fragly\SecurityTools\SecurityToolsServiceProvider::class,
],

⚙️ Usage

Run a full scan

php artisan security:scan

Generate Markdown report (for CI or audit logs)

php artisan security:scan --format=md

Output file (by default): storage/logs/security-report.md

Strict mode (fail build on warnings)

php artisan security:scan --strict

🧠 What It Checks

Environment (.env)

Category	Example	Description
Required Keys	APP_KEY, APP_URL, DB_*	Must exist and be non-empty
Dangerous Values	APP_DEBUG=true	Warns if enabled in any environment
Forbidden in Production	SESSION_DRIVER=array, QUEUE=sync	Not allowed in production
Format Validation	APP_KEY, APP_URL	Must match regex and be valid
HTTPS Enforcement	APP_URL, ASSET_URL	Must start with https:// in production

Config Checks (config())

Check	Description
app.debug=false in production	Prevents debug mode in prod
session.secure=true	Enforces HTTPS cookies
session.http_only=true	Protects from JS access
cors.allowed_origins ≠ *	Disallows wildcard CORS
cache.default ≠ array	Production cache driver check
queue.default ≠ sync	Warns if queue runs inline
mail.default ≠ log	Ensures real mailer in prod
log.level ≠ debug	Avoid verbose logs in prod
trustedproxy.proxies ≠ *	Ensures proxy whitelist
app.url uses HTTPS	Verifies production HTTPS URL

🧾 Markdown Report Example

When you run:

php artisan security:scan --format=md

It generates:

Laravel Security Tools Report

• Generated at: 2025-10-25 03:00:00

Level	Area	Key	Message	Hint
ERROR	env	APP_DEBUG	Dangerous value: true	Set APP_DEBUG=false in production.
WARNING	config	cors.allowed_origins	CORS allows all origins (*)	Avoid "*" in production.

You can publish the config file to customize checks:

Config file: config/security-tools.php
