About
-----
phpcs-security-audit is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules that finds and weaknesses related to security in PHP code.
It currently has core PHP rules as well as Drupal 7 specific rules.
The tool also checks for C and security ad related to the CMS/framework. This enables you to follow the of components during static code analysis.
The main reason for this project being an extension of PHP_CodeSniffer is to have easy integration into continuous integration systems. It also allows for finding security bugs that are not detected with some object oriented analysis (such as PHPMD).
phpcs-security-audit in its beginning was backed by Pheromone (later on named Floe Design + Technologies) and written by Jonathan Marcil.
Install
-------
Requires PHP CodeSniffer 3.1.0 or higher with PHP 5.4 or higher.
The easiest way to install is using Composer:
This will also install the DealerDirect Composer PHPCS plugin which will register the Security standard with PHP_CodeSniffer.
Now run:
If all went right, you should see Security listed in the list of installed coding standards.
If you want to integrate it all with Jenkins, go see for extensive help.
Usage
-----
Simply set the standard to Security or point to any XML ruleset file and to a folder to scan:
Specifying extensions is important since, for example, PHP code is within .module files in Drupal.
To have a quick example of output you can use the provided tests.php file:
#### Drupal note
For the Drupal Ad you need to change your /etc/php5/cli/php.ini to have:
in order to get rid of "No PHP code was found in this file" warnings.
Please note that only Drupal modules downloaded from drupal.org are supported. If you are using contrib module but from another source, the checking probably won't work and will generate a warning.
Customize
---------
As with the normal PHP CodeSniffer rules, customization is provided in the XML files that are in the top folder of the project.
These global parameters are used in many rules:
* ParanoiaMode: set to 0 to reduce false positive. set to 1 (default) to be a lot more .
* CmsFramework: set to the name of a folder containings rules and Utils.php (such as Drupal7) to target a specific framework.
They can be set in a custom ruleset XML file (such as example_drupal7_ruleset.xml), from the command line for permanent config with --config-set or at runtime with --runtime-set. Note that the XML o all CLI options so remove it if you want to use it. The CLI usage is as follows:
For some rules, you can force the paranoia mode on or off with the parameter forceParanoia inside the XML file.
Contribute
----------
It is possible to install with a git clone and play with it in the same folder.
By default it should set PHPCS to look in the current folder:
If for any reason you need to change this (should work out of the box) you will need to phpcs --config-set installed_paths as explained in PHP_CodeSniffer docs.
Master can contain breaking changes, so people are better off relying on releases for stable .
Those release packages are a here on GitHub or on Packagist.
Some guidelines if you want to create new rules::
* Ensure that ParanoiaMode controls how your sniff is:
* If the sniff is only some of the time a valid security concern, run it when paranoia=true only.
* Warnings are generally issued instead of Errors for most-of-the-time concerns when paranoia=false.
* Errors are always generated when you are sure about user input being used.
* Prefer false positives (annoying results) o negatives (missing results).
* paranoia=false should sol positi warn on anything remotely suspicious.
* Include at least one test that triggers your sniff into tests.php.
* Keep the test as a one liner, it doesn't need to make sense.
* Don't forget to include your new sniff in the example_base_ruleset.xml and example_drupal7_ruleset.xml when it applies.
#### Specialize
If you want to support a specific code base or framework beyond XML configuration, you can use the utilities provided by phpcs-security-audit to facilitate the process.
Let's say you have a custom CMS function that is taking user input from $_GET when a function call to get_param() is done.
You have to create a new Folder in Sniffs/ that will be the name of your framework. Then you'll need
to create a file named Utils.php that will actually be the function that will specialise the generic sniffs. To guide you, just copy the file from another folder such as Drupal7/.
The main function you'll want to change is is_direct_user_input where you'll want to return TRUE when get_param() is seen:
Don't forget to set the occurrence of param "CmsFramework" in your XML base configuration in order to select your newly added utilities.
You are not required to do your own sniffs for the modification to be useful, since you are specifying what is a user input for other rules, but you could use the newly created directory to do so.
In the same fashion, you can also reduce the number of false positive by adding mitigation functions. Those are functions that serve as security controls (either explicitly in the function or by a side effect) that lower the risks. A good example is htmlentities for XSS. See is_XSS_mitigation function in Drupal7/Utils.php.
If you implement any public CMS/Framework customization please make a pull request to help the project grows.
#### Test
The tool now support unit testing with composer test.
To test for a specific sniff, use composer test -- --filter RULENAME (without the Sniff part).
To create a test, create a folder with RULENAME. Inside, have a RULENAMEUnitTest.inc file for the code to be scanned and RULENAMEUnitTest.php file for the PHPCS of findings. For the rule to support a given CMS/Framework, it needs to have a inc file with the following: RULENAMEUnitTest.CMSFRAMEWORK.inc. See Security/Tests/BadFunctions for a complete example.
Annoyances
----------
As with any security tool, this one comes with it's share of annoyance. At first a focus on finding will be done, but later it is planned to have a phase where efforts will be towards reducing annoyances, in particular with the number of false positives.
* It's a generator of false positi for people doing secure code reviews. It can help you learn what are the weak functions in PHP but can be counter productive in CI/CD en. Set ParanoiaMode to 0 for a major cut-off on warnings.
* This tool was created around 10 years ago. Some of its parts might look outdated, and support for old PHP code will still be present. The reality is that many code base scanned with it might be as old as the tool.
* It's slow. On big Drupal modules and core it can take too much time (and RAM, reconfigure cli/php.ini to use 512M if needed) to run. Not sure if it's because of bugs in PHPCS or this set of rules, but will be in last. Meanwhile you can configure PHPCS to ignore big contrib modules (and run another instance of PHPCS for .info parsing only for them). An example is og taking hours, usually e runs under 1-2 minutes and sometimes around 5 minute. You can try using the --parallel=8 (or another number) option to try and speed things up on supported OSes. Possible work-around is to use phpcs --ignore=folder to skip scanning of those parts.
* For Drupal ad checking: a module with multiple might be secure if a lesser fixed exists and you'll still get the error or warning. Keep e updated on latest as recommended on Drupal's website.
