Security module for php7 - Killing bugclasses and virtual-patching the rest!

Github stars Tracking Chart

Snuffleupagus is a PHP 7+ module designed to
drastically raise the cost of attacks against websites, by killing entire bug
classes. It also provides a powerful virtual-patching system, allowing
administrator to fix specific vulnerabilities and audit suspicious behaviours
without having to touch the PHP code.

Key Features

  • No noticeable performance impact
  • Powerful yet simple to write virtual-patching rules
  • Killing several classes of vulnerabilities
  • Several hardening features
    • Automatic secure and samesite flag for cookies
    • Bundled set of rules to detect post-compromissions behaviours
    • Global strict mode and type-juggling prevention
    • Whitelisting of stream wrappers
    • Preventing writeable files execution
    • Whitelist/blacklist for eval
    • Enforcing TLS certificate validation when using curl
    • Request dumping capability
  • A relatively sane code base:

Download

We've got a download
page
, where you can find
packages for your distribution, but you can of course just git clone this
repo, or check the releases on github.

Examples

We're providing various example rules,
that are looking like this:

# Harden the `chmod` function
sp.disable_function.function("chmod").param("mode").value_r("^[0-9]{2}[67]$").drop();

# Mitigate command injection in `system`
sp.disable_function.function("system").param("command").value_r("[$, ;&`\\n]").drop();

Upon violation of a rule, you should see lines like this in your logs:

[snuffleupagus][0.0.0.0][disabled_function][drop] The execution has been aborted in /var/www/index.php:2, because the return value (0) of the function 'strpos' matched a rule.

Documentation

We've got a comprehensive website with
all the documentation that you could possibly wish for. You can of course
build it yourself.
