Laravel Security Checker
This package provides an effortless way for you to check your local composer.lock
against the Symfony Security Advisories Checker.
It can either display the results in your console or email them to you on a scheduled basis. It uses Laravel's markdown system so it should fit nicely in your styling.

Installation
Require this package with composer using the following command:
composer require jorijn/laravel-security-checker
After updating composer, add the service provider to the providers
array in config/app.php
Jorijn\LaravelSecurityChecker\ServiceProvider::class,
Note: On Laravel 5.5 and up, this package will use auto discovery, and the above step is no longer required.
Configuration
If you want the package to send reports by email, you'll need to specify a recipient.
Option 1
Add it to your .env
file.
LCS_MAIL_TO="someone@example.net"
Option 2
Publish the configuration file and change it there.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jorijn\LaravelSecurityChecker\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"
If you want to control on how the email is formatted you can have Laravel export the view for you using:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jorijn\LaravelSecurityChecker\ServiceProvider" --tag="views"
By default, the package won't email you when there are no vulnerabilities found. You can change this setting by adding the following entry to your .env
file.
LCS_NOTIFY_WITHOUT_VULNERABILITIES=true
Slack
If you want the package to send the report to a Slack channel, you will need to specify a Slack Webhook
in your .env
file.
E.g.:
LCS_SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Scheduling
The package exposes a new command for you:
php artisan security-check:email
You can hook it up into a regular crontab or add it into the Laravel Scheduler (app/Console/Kernel.php
) like this:
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command(\Jorijn\LaravelSecurityChecker\Console\SecurityMailCommand::class)
->weekly();
}
Running as a command
This package provides a wrapper around the SensioLab's Security Checker command. You can call it using php artisan security-check:now
.
