## What it does

The skill audits codebases or guides secure coding during development. It first inspects the project for React and Inertia.js using files in `resources/js/` and dependencies in `composer.json`. When Inertia is present, the agent checks frontend safety alongside backend rules.

The audit covers the OWASP Top 10 categories. It checks for missing route middleware, unsafe Eloquent raw queries, and unescaped output in Blade or React. Every finding includes a file location and a remediation tip. To prevent credential leaks, the output hides environment variables and secrets. This tool requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 13.x. Older stacks may hit false positives.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-owasp-security -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/laravel-owasp-security/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-owasp-security -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-owasp-security -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install AsyrafHussin/agent-skills laravel-owasp-security
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-owasp-security -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --path skills/laravel-owasp-security
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-owasp-security -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/AsyrafHussin/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/laravel-owasp-security/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- detect SQL injection risks in raw Eloquent queries
- audit access control middleware, gates, and policies
- check session and cookie security configurations
- spot XSS risks in React components and Blade views

## Example prompts
- Run OWASP audit on my payment controllers
- Check my app security against the OWASP checklist
- Review our auth and session configuration for vulnerabilities

# Laravel OWASP Security

Dual-purpose security skill for Laravel 13 + React/Inertia.js applications. Run a full OWASP Top 10 audit against a codebase, or use as a secure coding reference when building features.

## How to Audit

### Step 1: Detect Stack

Check if the project uses React + Inertia.js by looking for:
- `app/Http/Middleware/HandleInertiaRequests.php` exists
- `resources/js/` contains `.tsx` or `.jsx` files
- `inertiajs/inertia-laravel` in `composer.json`
- `@inertiajs/react` in `package.json`

**If detected**, state at the top of the report:
> "React + Inertia.js detected — Laravel OWASP checklist AND React/Inertia security checks will both be applied."

**If not detected**, state:
> "No React/Inertia.js detected — applying Laravel OWASP checklist only."

### Step 2: Determine Scope

- If arguments provided (`$ARGUMENTS`): review only those files or features
- If no arguments: review the entire codebase

### Step 3: Run Checklist

Work through every item below. For each, output:
- **PASS** — brief confirmation of what was verified
- **FAIL** — exact `file:line`, a description of the vulnerability (do NOT reproduce any code, values, API keys, tokens, or .env contents from the file), and a fix recommendation
- **N/A** — if the check does not apply to this project

## OWASP Top 10 Checklist

### 1. Broken Access Control (A01:2021)

- [ ] Middleware protects all route groups by role (`auth`, `role:admin`, etc.)
- [ ] Resource queries scoped to authenticated user — `->where('user_id', auth()->id())`
- [ ] No direct object reference without ownership check
- [ ] Gates and Policies used to authorize resource access
- [ ] Frontend role checks are mirrored server-side — never rely on React UI checks alone

### 2. Cryptographic Failures (A02:2021)

- [ ] Passwords hashed with `Hash::make()` or `'hashed'` Eloquent cast — never stored as plaintext
- [ ] No MD5 or SHA1 used for password hashing
- [ ] Sensitive fields (API keys, secrets) encrypted with `Crypt::encryptString()` or `'encrypted'` Eloquent cast
- [ ] `APP_KEY` is long, random, and unique per environment
- [ ] Signed URLs (`URL::signedRoute()`) used for sensitive one-time actions (password reset, email verify)

### 3. Injection (A03:2021)

**SQL & Mass Assignment:**
- [ ] No string concatenation in `whereRaw()`, `selectRaw()`, `orderByRaw()` — use `?` bindings
- [ ] Column names never derived from user input without a whitelist
```
