Safe HTTP Request: extension of Nette Request object, but sanitized from known safety issues.

Sanitized issues

  1. Using Nette RequestFactory can cause to leak user's Basic auth credentials, because it by-default creating the Url object with that and used to create back-link URLs (issue nette/http#215). It's fixed at PR#211, but not yet released (and probably fix it will be never available for PHP < 8.0).
  2. Call of Request->getReferer() method can cause to crash App, because evil client can call request with invalid Referer header (issue nette/http#215). It's fixed at eb3f6d1980c0b2552a13f5eb944d37515072c998, but only with mark method as deprecated and not yet released (and probably fix it will be never available for PHP < 8.0).
  3. Call of Request->getRemoteHost() method can cause to slow or stuck your App, because Request object is trying contact DNS server on every read of property (issue nette/http#218).

Package requires the nette/http package, it's not replacing it, just extending it.

Features

  • Removes sensitive data from Request->Url object.
  • Fixes app crash on request with invalid Referer.
  • Fixes performance issue with Remote Host.

Install

composer require jakubboucek/safe-request
