A Laravel package to scrub sensitive information that breaks operational security policies from being leaked on
accident or not by developers.
install the package via composer:
composer require yorcreative/laravel-scrubber
Publish the packages assets.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="YorCreative\Scrubber\ScrubberServiceProvider"
Adjust the configuration file to suite your application, located in /config/scrubber.php
.
return [
'redaction' => '**redacted**', // Define what you want to overwrite detected information with?
'secret_manager' => [
'key' => '44mfXzhGl4IiILZ844mfXzhGl4IiILZ8', // key for cipher to use
'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',
'enabled' => false, // Do you want this enabled?
'providers' => [
'gitlab' => [
'enabled' => false,
'project_id' => env('GITLAB_PROJECT_ID', ''),
'token' => env('GITLAB_TOKEN', ''),
'host' => 'https://gitlab.com',
'keys' => ['*'], // * will grab all the secrets, if you want specific variables
// define the keys in an array
],
],
],
'regex_loader' => ['*'] // Opt-in to specific regex classes OR include all with * wildcard.
'tap_channels' => ['*'] // Opt-in to tap specific log channels OR include all with * wildcard.
];
The scrubber can be utilized in two ways, the first one being a Log scrubber. A tap is added to detect and sanitize any sensitive information from hitting a log file. The second way is to integrate into your application and utilize the Scrubber directly. This way is particular useful if you, for example, would like to detect and sanitize any messages on a messaging platform.
Log::info('some message', [
'context' => 'accidental',
'leak_of' => [
'jwt' => '<insert jwt token here>'
]
])
// testing.INFO: some message {"context":"accidental","leak_of":{"jwt": '**redacted**'}}
Log::info('<insert jwt token here>')
// testing.INFO: **redacted**
Scrubber::processMessage([
'context' => 'accidental',
'leak_of' => [
'jwt' => '<insert jwt token here>'
]
]);
// [
// "context" => "accidental"
// "leak_of" => [
// "jwt" => "**redacted**"
// ]
// ];
Scrubber::processMessage('<insert jwt token here>');
// **redacted**
This package provides you the ability to define through the configuration file what channels you want to scrub specifically. By default, this package ships with a wildcard value and opts in to scrub all the log channels in your application.
To opt in to one or more channels, list the channel(s) name into the tap_channels
array in the config.
'tap_channels' => [
'single',
'papertrail'
]
To disable tap logging functionality and use the package independently and not tap your Laravel application logging, modify the config file by setting the tap_channels field as follows:
'tap_channels' => false
You have the ability through the configuration file to define what regex classes you want loaded into the application when it is bootstrapped. By default, this package ships with a wildcard value.
To opt in, utilize the static properties on the RegexCollection class.
'regex_loader' => [
RegexCollection::$GOOGLE_API,
RegexCollection::$AUTHORIZATION_BEARER,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_AMERICAN_EXPRESS,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_DISCOVER,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_VISA,
RegexCollection::$JSON_WEB_TOKEN
],
To create custom scrubbers, see the Extending the Scrubber section.
The regex_loader
array takes strings, not objects. To opt in to specific custom extended regex classes, define the
class name as a string.
For example if I have a custom extended class as such:
<?php
namespace App\Scrubber\RegexCollection;
use YorCreative\Scrubber\Interfaces\RegexCollectionInterface;
class TestRegex implements RegexCollectionInterface
{
public function getPattern(): string
{
/**
* @note return a regex pattern to detect a specific piece of sensitive data.
*/
return '(?<=basic) [a-zA-Z0-9=:\\+\/-]{5,100}';
}
public function getTestableString(): string
{
/**
* @note return a string that can be used to verify the regex pattern provided.
*/
return 'basic f9Iu+YwMiJEsQu/vBHlbUNZRkN/ihdB1sNTU';
}
public function getReplacementValue(): string
{
/**
* @note return a string that replaces the regex pattern provided.
*/
return config('scrubber.redaction');
}
public function isSecret(): bool
{
return false;
}
}
The regex_loader
array should be defined as such:
'regex_loader' => [
RegexCollection::$GOOGLE_API,
RegexCollection::$AUTHORIZATION_BEARER,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_AMERICAN_EXPRESS,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_DISCOVER,
RegexCollection::$CREDIT_CARD_VISA,
RegexCollection::$JSON_WEB_TOKEN,
'TestRegex'
],
This package provides the ability to pull in secrets from external sources. Providing the ability to detect information leakage, and sanitize secrets without needing an exact regex pattern to detect it.
For enhanced application security, all secrets pulled, from any provider, are encrypted and only decrypted to run the detection. You can see this in action here.
To utilize the Gitlab Integration, you will need to enable the secret_manager
and the gitlab
provider in the
Configuration file. If you are looking for information on how to add secrets in Gitlab. There is an article
on adding project variables.
Creating new Scrubber Detection Classes
php artisan make:regex-class {name}
This command will create a stubbed out class in App\Scrubber\RegexCollection
. The Scrubber package will autoload
everything from the App\Scrubber\RegexCollection
folder with the wildcard value on the regex_loader
array in the
scrubber config file. You will need to provide a Regex Pattern
and a Testable String
for the class and you may also provide a Replacement Value
if you want to replace the detected value with something other than the default value in the config file.
composer test
