A Laravel package that proactively monitors your dependencies for security vulnerabilities by running automated composer audits and sending notifications via webhooks and email

#Warden

Warden is a Laravel package that performs security audits on your composer dependencies and provides automated notifications for any discovered vulnerabilities.

It is designed to fail your preferred CI/CD pipeline when vulnerabilities are detected, ensuring that security issues are addressed promptly.

#Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dgtlss/warden

#Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="warden-config"

This will create a config/warden.php file in your application.

#Environment Variables

Add the following variables to your .env file:

# Webhook Configuration
WARDEN_WEBHOOK_URL=

# Email Recipients Configuration
WARDEN_EMAIL_RECIPIENTS=email1@example.com,email2@example.com

#Usage

Warden provides a simple command to run security audits:

php artisan warden:audit

#Command Options

• --silent: Run the audit without sending notifications

php artisan warden:audit --silent

#Exit Codes

The command returns different exit codes based on the audit results:

• 0: No vulnerabilities found
• 1: Vulnerabilities detected
• 2: Audit process failed to run

#Notifications

Warden supports two types of notifications:

#1. Webhook Notifications

Configure WARDEN_WEBHOOK_URL in your .env file to receive webhook notifications. The webhook will receive a POST request with the audit report in the request body.
