Web Application Firewall (WAF) package for Laravel

This package intends to protect your Laravel app from different type of attacks such as XSS, SQLi, RFI, LFI, User Agent, and a lot more. It will also block repeated attacks and send notification via email and/or slack when attack is detected. Furthermore, it will log failed logins and block the IP after a number of attempts.

Note: Some middleware classes (i.e. Xss) are empty as the Middleware abstract class that they extend does all of the job, dynamically. In short, they all works ;)

Getting Started

1. Install

Run the following command:

composer require ozankurt/laravel-security

2. Publish

Publish configuration, language, and migrations

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=security

3. Database

Create db tables

php artisan migrate

4. Configure

You can change the security settings of your app from config/security.php file

Usage

Middlewares are already defined so should just add them to routes. The firewall.all middleware applies all the middlewares available in the all_middleware array of config file.

Route::group(['middleware' => 'firewall.all'], function () {
    Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
});

You can apply each middleware per route. For example, you can allow only whitelisted IPs to access admin:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'firewall.whitelist'], function () {
    Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController@index');
});

Or you can get notified when anyone NOT in whitelist access admin, by adding it to the inspections config:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'firewall.url'], function () {
    Route::get('/admin', 'AdminController@index');
});

Available middlewares applicable to routes:

firewall.all

firewall.agent
firewall.bot
firewall.geo
firewall.ip
firewall.lfi
firewall.php
firewall.referrer
firewall.rfi
firewall.session
firewall.sqli
firewall.swear
firewall.url
firewall.whitelist
firewall.xss
firewall.keyword

You may also define routes for each middleware in config/security.php and apply that middleware or firewall.all at the top of all routes.

Notifications

Firewall will send a notification as soon as an attack has been detected. Emails entered in notifications.email.to config must be valid Laravel users in order to send notifications. Check out the Notifications documentation of Laravel for further information.

Dashboard

In order to view the dashboard, you must enable it in your AppServiceProvider:

    use App\Models\User;
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        Gate::define('viewSecurityDashboard', function (?User $user) {
            return $user?->id === 1;
        });

        // ...
    }
