Metadata

ID: php-security/laravel-response-write

Language: PHP

Severity: Error

Category: Security

CWE: 79

Description

Injecting unsanitized data into responses can lead to several security vulnerabilities, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. XSS attacks occur when a malicious script is injected into a trusted website, which can compromise the data integrity or steal sensitive information.

To comply with this rule, always sanitize or validate data before including it in a response. PHP provides several built-in functions such as filter_var(), htmlspecialchars(), and strip_tags() that can be used for sanitizing data.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

<?php
class UserController extends Controller
{
  public function test0($data)
  {
    return response('Data is '.$data, 200)->header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  }

  public function test1($data)
  {
    return response("Data is {$data}")
      ->withHeaders([
        'Content-Type' => "text/html",
      ]);
  }
}

Route::get('/endpoint/{data}', function ($data) {
  return response("Data is {$data}")
    ->cookie($cookie)
    ->withHeaders([
      'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
    ]);
});

Compliant Code Examples

<?php
class UserController extends Controller
{
  public function test0($data)
  {
    $content = sanitize($data);
    return response('Data is '. $content, 200)->header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
  }

  public function test1($data)
  {
    $content = validate($data);
    return response("Data is {$content}")
      ->withHeaders([
        'Content-Type' => "text/html",
      ]);
  }
}

Route::get('/endpoint/{data}', function ($data) {
  $var = sanitize($data);
  return response("Data is {$var}")
    ->cookie($cookie)
    ->withHeaders([
      'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
    ]);
});
