Laravel Security Check

Laravel Security Check is a security analysis platform that helps teams catch flaws before they become incidents. In minutes, you get a clear view of the security posture of your projects.

Features

The application runs a single scanner that validates .env configurations:

✅ .env file Warns if a .env file is present, since environment variables should be used instead.

✅ APP_DEBUG Warns if APP_DEBUG=true, as it should be set to false in production.

✅ APP_ENV Warns if APP_ENV is not set to production in production environments.

✅ APP_KEY Warns if APP_KEY is empty or invalid, suggesting running php artisan key:generate.

✅ APP_URL Warns if APP_URL is set to http://localhost, suggesting the production URL.

✅ DB_CONNECTION / DB_HOST Warns if using an in-memory SQLite database or if DB_HOST is not set correctly for MySQL in production.

✅ DB_PORT Warns if DB_PORT is empty or not a valid port.

✅ DB_DATABASE Warns if DB_DATABASE is not set.

✅ DB_USERNAME Warns if DB_USERNAME is empty or set to root.

✅ DB_PASSWORD Warns if DB_PASSWORD is empty or uses a weak/known password.

✅ APP_URL Warns if APP_URL is set to the default localhost URL, suggesting using the production URL in production environments.
