Magento2 Security Scan

Magento 2 Security Scanner

This skill performs security scanning for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance issues.

Related Skills

REQUIRED BACKGROUND: Load magento2-dev-core first — this skill scans for violations of the security patterns it defines (escaping, discouraged functions, ObjectManager misuse), and its patterns are what you fix findings with.

Part of the QA trio with magento2-linter (style/static analysis) and magento2-performance-audit (runtime/infrastructure). Re-check API/resolver-specific findings against magento2-backend-dev.

Vulnerability Categories

1. Injection Vulnerabilities

| Type | Pattern | Severity | |------|---------|----------| | SQL Injection | Direct SQL with user input | Critical | | XSS (Reflected) | Unescaped user input in output | High | | XSS (Stored) | Unescaped database content | Critical | | Command Injection | System command execution with user input | Critical |

2. Authentication & Authorization

| Check | Command | |-------|---------| | Admin path changed | Check env.php for custom admin path | | 2FA enabled | Check admin/twofactor module | | Password hashing | Verify EncryptorInterface usage | | Session security | Check cookie configuration |

3. Data Exposure

# Check for exposed sensitive files
curl -I https://store.test/app/etc/env.php
curl -I https://store.test/var/log/system.log
curl -I https://store.test/.git/config

# Expected: All should return 403 or 404

4. CSP Configuration

# Check CSP settings
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:get cms/wysiwyg/use_static_urls"
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:get design/content-security_policy/enable_content_security_policy"

Scanner Commands

PHP Security Checker

# Install security tools
composer require --dev magento/security-package --no-interaction

# Run Magento security scan
govard sh -c "vendor/bin/magento-security-scanner scan ./app/code/Vendor/Module"

Dependency Audit

# Check for known vulnerabilities
govard sh -c "composer audit --no-interaction"

# Check for outdated packages with security fixes
govard sh -c "composer outdated --direct --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.[\"security-update\"]) | .name'"

File Permission Check

# Check Magento file permissions
find var/ pub/static pub/media -type f -not -perm 0644 -ls
find var/ pub/static pub/media -type d -not -perm 0755 -ls
find app/etc -type f -not -perm 0640 -ls

XSS Prevention Checklist

• [ ] All output escaped with $escaper
• [ ] escapeHtml for HTML content
• [ ] escapeHtmlAttr for attributes
• [ ] escapeJs for JavaScript strings
• [ ] escapeUrl for URLs
• [ ] Form keys in all POST forms
• [ ] No direct $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST usage

CSRF Protection

Verified Patterns

// Form with form key
escapeUrl($action) ?>" method="post">
    getBlockHtml('formkey') ?>

// AJAX with form key
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: 'POST',
    data: {
        form_key: $.cookie('form_key'),
        ...data
    }
});

Verify Admin Protection

# Check if admin form key validation is active
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:show admin/security/use_form_key"
# Expected: 1

Rate Limiting

# Configure rate limiting
govard sh -c "bin/magento config:set web/secure/open_restriction_enabled 1"

Security Headers

Check in nginx/Apache config or .htaccess:

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()

PCI-DSS 4.0 Checklist (E-commerce)

From April 2025, payment pages require:

• [ ] unsafe-eval CSP disabled
• [ ] unsafe-inline CSP disabled
• [ ] No inline scripts in payment forms
• [ ] TLS 1.2+ enforced

Quick Security Scan

Run this for a rapid security assessment:

# 1. Check for SQL in code
grep -r "execute\|fetch\|fetchAll\|select\|insert\|update\|delete" \
    app/code/Vendor/Module --include="*.php" | \
    grep -v "Collection\|Repository\|ResourceModel" | head -20

# 2. Check for superglobals
grep -r "\$_GET\|\$_POST\|\$_REQUEST" \
    app/code/Vendor/Module --include="*.php"

# 3. Check for ObjectManager
grep -r "ObjectManager::getInstance" \
    app/code/Vendor/Module --include="*.php"

# 4. Check for code evaluation functions
grep -r "eval" app/code/Vendor/Module --include="*.php"
