My Recommendation

Properly securing Laravel applications

Laravel encourages rapid development, but also rapid security disasters. We examine your queue and event structures as well as API routes and support your team with secure defaults.

DSecured loves Laravel - why?

Because we use it ourselves - whether for this site or our Argos eASM. This perspective on a Laravel app ensures that we know every nook and cranny here and know what mistakes are made time and time again.

Security advantages of Laravel

Laravel is a modern PHP framework that makes it relatively difficult for developers to build classic security vulnerabilities. Eloquent protects against SQL injections, Blade against XSS, and facades like File or Session are safer than standard PHP functions. We haven't seen the really gross mistakes in a long time!

Eloquent ORM

Protection against SQL injections

Blade Templates

Automatic XSS protection

Secure Facades

Better alternative to PHP functions

CSRF Protection

Integrated token protection

Our approach to a Laravel penetration test

Ultimately, we treat a Laravel application like any other web application - see web application pentest. We look at what makes sense and what fits into the budget. We discuss what kind of pentest makes sense. Most of our Laravel penetration tests take place as blackbox tests (see "types of pentests"). This means that we are usually provided with a demo system and corresponding access credentials. After the test, we write a detailed pentest report including a management summary and discuss the results with you. If required, we can also take over the retesting.

Investment

How much does a Laravel penetration test cost?

The price depends on the size and complexity of your Laravel application. Key factors include the number of routes, user roles, API endpoints, and external integrations. A simple blackbox test for a small application starts at around €2,500, while comprehensive enterprise applications with complex permission systems can cost up to €12,000.

Small application (up to 50 routes) €2,500 - €4,500
Medium application (50-200 routes) €5,000 - €9,000
Enterprise application (200+ routes) €10,000 - €18,000
Added value

What are the benefits of a Laravel penetration test?

Improved security:

Identification and elimination of vulnerabilities protects your application from attacks and data loss.

Protection against data leaks:

By ensuring that no unauthorized access to sensitive data is possible, you minimize the risk of data leaks.

Ensuring compliance:

Meeting legal and industry-specific security requirements to avoid penalties and reputational damage.

Increasing customer confidence:

Proven security measures increase your customers' confidence in your application.

Cost savings:

Early detection and elimination of security vulnerabilities are more cost-effective than repairing damage after a successful attack.

Is a Laravel penetration test worth it?

A Laravel pentest is always worthwhile when your application processes critical data, multiple teams work on modules, or you are facing an audit or go-live. We not only check classic OWASP Top 10 risks, but focus on authorization, multi-tenancy and integrations, so that real attack vectors are closed.

Sensitive data & availability GDPR-relevant information, payment data or trade secrets require concrete evidence that access is properly regulated.

Complex role models We test gates, policies, queues and jobs for side effects such as IDORs or unintended privilege escalation.

Preparation for launch & audits Whether NIS2, ISO 27001 or an investor audit - you receive reliable results with an action plan and retest.

Questions you should clarify in advance

  • What does a failure or compromise of your Laravel application mean for the business?
  • Which internal systems or customer data could also be affected in the event of an attack?
  • How quickly can findings be prioritized and remedied - internally or with our support?

For agencies and developer teams

We support many Laravel projects for agencies or internal dev teams. Often it's about streamlined reviews of individual modules before they are delivered to customers. We deliver reproducible proof-of-concepts, commented code and clear tickets for your board.

You don't need an audit report? Then we focus on technical results, pairing sessions and fix validations - so your sprint pace is maintained.

What risks do we see in Laravel projects?

Authorization & access controls: Common vulnerabilities arise from inconsistent gates, policies or misconfigured middleware. The result is classic IDORs or admin functions that are open to regular users.

Data and business logic: While Eloquent protects against many SQL injections, custom queries with DB::raw(), unsecured jobs and webhooks or mass assignment regularly lead to critical data access.

Critical exploits: In more complex setups, we repeatedly find code injection and deserialization via unserialize(), insecure caching adapters or incorrectly hardened queue workers. We immediately prioritize such findings and accompany your team until the retest.

APIs & integrations: REST and GraphQL endpoints often process complex payloads, which with inadequate validation lead to privilege escalation or data leaks. Webhook and queue handlers also fail when signatures or rate limits are missing.

Deployment & secrets: Open .env files, incorrectly permissioned storage directories or debug mode in production give attackers direct insight into keys, credentials and infrastructure. We check CI/CD, container images and configurations for such leaks.

Third-party packages: Composer dependencies bring their own attack surfaces. We evaluate security advisories, custom forks and package configurations - including auditing your own service providers and macro extensions.

Authentication & sessions: We test password reset flows, MFA implementations, Sanctum/Passport tokens and single sign-on integrations for session fixation, token leaks and replay attacks.

Uploads & storage: File validation, image manipulation and storage drivers (S3, Azure, local disks) are typical entry points. We check MIME checks, path validation and secure delivery of sensitive assets.

Realtime & SPA stacks: Livewire, Inertia or broadcasting via Pusher/Echo open new attack surfaces. We examine event channels, SSR integration and syncing of permissions between frontend and backend.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical Laravel penetration test take for a medium-sized project?

The definition of "medium-sized" is always very individual. As a rule, a comprehensive pentest of your Laravel application is feasible within a week. As always, however, it depends on the size. 1-2 days are just as realistic as 2-3 weeks.

Which specific security risks does a Laravel penetration test primarily address?

Laravel is first and foremost nothing more than a web application. That's how the penetration test proceeds. We look for classic security vulnerabilities from the web domain (XSS, SQL injections, RCE, etc.) that can occur in Laravel applications.

What happens after a Laravel penetration test is completed?

You receive a report in PDF format that documents all the vulnerabilities found. We discuss the report with you and give you recommendations for remedying the vulnerabilities found.

How is it ensured that the Laravel penetration test does not cause actual damage?

Ideally, we test an isolated Laravel application with demo data. Then nothing can really go wrong. We don't see any sensitive data, we can go all out and you don't have to worry.

Could you describe a scenario from a previous Laravel pentest?

Sure - this is a common result: In our last pentest we found an SQL injection. Why? Because the developer had to create complex SQL queries and relied on the Laravel Query Builder - specifically the whereRaw() method. The developer did not properly escape the user input, which led to an SQL injection vulnerability.

How do DSecured's Laravel penetration tests differ from general penetration tests?

Laravel penetration tests target security vulnerabilities specific to Laravel frameworks, such as issues related to route protection, middleware, and service providers. We tailor our tests to exploit vulnerabilities unique to Laravel, as opposed to generic tests which are broader.

Can a pentest for Laravel web applications be focused on specific features?

Yes, during scoping we can discuss what exactly makes sense and what to focus on - this is especially useful when the budget is small.

What preparations should be made before starting the pentest for my Laravel application?

Provide us with everything that could be helpful (the more the better). Set up a realistic test system, the data should be as close as possible to your production data. Documentation is also helpful. Appoint a contact person who is available to answer our questions.

How does my team stay involved during a Laravel pentest?

If desired, we keep you informed throughout the entire process. For example, we can provide interim results quite quickly via Slack, so that IT teams can already take care of remedying the vulnerabilities on the production system.

What kind of support does DSecured offer after completing a Laravel pentest?

The classic way: retesting. We ensure that everything has been fixed correctly. We can also schedule regular pentests and offer continuous monitoring with our pentest-as-a-service model.

Who conducts the pentests for Laravel applications?
