README

Laravel Security Scanner is a lightweight developer tool that helps identify common security vulnerabilities in Laravel applications such as SQL Injection, mass assignment, unsafe raw queries, and missing validation.

🚀 Features

• 🔍 Scan Laravel code for vulnerabilities
• ⚠️ Detect SQL Injection risks
• 🛑 Identify unsafe raw queries (DB::select, whereRaw, etc.)
• 📦 Detect mass assignment issues ($request->all())
• 🧠 Highlight missing validation
• 📍 Shows file name, line number, and severity
• ⚡ Easy CLI command integration

📦 Installation

composer require bushra/laravel-security-scanner

⚙️ Usage

Run the scanner using Artisan:

php artisan security:scan

Optional: Scan a specific directory

php artisan security:scan app/Http/Controllers

📊 Example Output

[HIGH] UserController.php (Line 12)
Possible SQL Injection

[HIGH] UserController.php (Line 20)
Mass assignment risk

[MEDIUM] UserController.php (Line 35)
Dynamic orderBy - validate input

🧠 What It Detects

🔴 High Severity

• SQL Injection (raw queries with variables)
• Unsafe whereRaw, DB::select, DB::statement
• Mass assignment ($request->all())

🟠 Medium Severity

• Dynamic column usage (e.g., orderBy($request->input()))
• Unsafe update patterns

🟡 Low Severity

• Missing validation in controller methods

❗ Important Notes

• This tool uses pattern-based detection (regex)
• It helps identify common mistakes but does not replace manual code review
• Always follow Laravel best practices for security

🛠️ Best Practices

• Use Eloquent or Query Builder instead of raw SQL
• Always validate user input
• Avoid $request->all() in create/update
• Use parameter binding (?) in raw queries

🔧 Roadmap

• ✅ CLI Scanner
• ⏳ Web UI Interface
• ⏳ Auto-fix suggestions
• ⏳ Configurable rules
• ⏳ CI/CD integration
