Laravel penetration testing
We search for security vulnerabilities in your Laravel application. Our advantage: We use Laravel ourselves and know it inside out!
Our experienced penetration testers will thoroughly analyze your Laravel web application and identify potential vulnerabilities. Let us take your digital security to the next level!
Penetration testing for Laravel
Ultimately, we treat a Laravel application like any other web application (see Webapp 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 black box tests (see Types of a pentest). This means that we are usually provided with a demo system and the corresponding access data. 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.
Customer benefits of a Laravel penetration test
A penetration test for your Laravel application offers numerous advantages:
- 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.
- Increase 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 the damage after a successful attack.
How much does a Laravel penetration test cost?
Hard to say without knowing the system. Below is the general article "How much does a penetration test cost?". There is an overview and some examples including prices. In general, it always depends on the size and complexity, depth and scope of the test. A simple test can start at €1,000, while a comprehensive test can cost up to €20,000.
"Laravel is a fantastic web framework that prevents many security vulnerabilities - but it cannot offer one hundred percent protection."

Why should we carry out the penetration test for your Laravel app?
Experienced team
Benefit from our experienced team of bug bounty hunters and ethical hackers who have already carried out numerous successful Laravel penetration tests. Complex scopes and secured systems are no problem for us and are rather standard.
Outstanding report
Receive detailed and understandable reports that not only highlight vulnerabilities, but also offer concrete and actionable recommendations. Our risk assessment is realistically tailored to your case.
Maximum creativity
Our innovative team uses creative and unconventional approaches to identify even the most hidden security vulnerabilities. We combine small flaws into critical vulnerabilities that no one expected.
Effective risk management

Pentest: Services
Is a Laravel penetration test worth it?
It depends - as always. A good indication is if you know that sensitive data is stored in the application's database. This includes personal data or financial transactions. Another good reason is the network within which the Laravel application was installed. If a successful compromise of the web app would ensure that other applications or servers in the network would also be at risk, then a Laravel penetration test also makes sense.
It is always worth asking yourself:
- What happens if my Laravel application suddenly stops working?
- What do I do if my website is defaced? What will my customers think?
- What do I do if I am blackmailed because someone has stolen the user information from the Laravel database?
Penetration testing for Laravel developers and Laravel agencies
A Laravel pentest does not have to be elaborate and complex. We often receive requests to test small parts of a customer application. The client is often not the customer themselves, but the web agency responsible for the software. In this case, the issue is often not compliance and there is no need for complex reports. The crucial question is: can we deliver this to our customer? DSecured ensures that your customers have no security vulnerabilities in Laravel applications. Just send us an e-mail and we'll see how we can work together.
Which security vulnerabilities are typical for Laravel?
With Laravel in particular, you tend to see problems in the configuration, use of gates and policies. It can quickly happen that a user has too many rights and can access all data - the classic IDOR. The use of middleware and protection against XSS is also often not consistently enforced.
Although Eloquent offers good protection against SQL injections, it also allows you to build your own queries with the help of DB::raw(). Here it can quickly happen that an SQL injection is possible after all. Small subtleties of the Laravel Framework can lead to problems depending on the context. Examples of this are mass assignment problems or the non-use of $hidden in models.
When we talk about critical security vulnerabilities in our latest Laravel penetration tests, it's always primarily about code injections or deserialization attacks using unserialize(). Every now and then you see developers using this PHP function in their web applications - Laravel is no exception.
Every Laravel application is different. Let us test your Laravel application for security vulnerabilities. Protect your user data and your reputation.

Further questions and answers on the topic
"Laravel penetration testing"
How does Laravel penetration testing by DSecured differ from generic penetration tests?
Laravel penetration testing targets security weaknesses 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, unlike generic tests which are broader.
What happens after a Laravel penetration test is completed?
You receive a report in PDF form that documents all the vulnerabilities found. We discuss the report with you and give you recommendations on how to rectify the vulnerabilities found.
How long does a typical Laravel penetration testing project last with DSecured?
The definition of "medium" 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.
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 will be available to answer any questions.
Who conducts the Laravel application security assessments at DSecured?
Our team comprises highly trained & certified security experts renowned for their prowess in IT security, with a rich legacy of reporting critical security issues to top firms. Their deep expertise ensures precise & effective assessment of your Laravel app.
Could you describe a scenario from a past Laravel app security penetration test?
Sure - this is a common result: In our last pentest, we found an SQL injection. Why? Because the developer had to build complex SQL queries and relied on the Laravel Query Builder - specifically the whereRaw() method. The developer did not decrypt the user input correctly, which led to an SQL injection vulnerability.
What kind of support does DSecured offer after completing a Laravel pentest?
The classic way: retesting. We make sure that everything has been fixed correctly. We can also schedule regular pentests and offer continuous monitoring with our pentest-as-a-service model.
Can a pentest for Laravel web applications be focused on specific functions?
Yes, during scoping we can discuss what exactly makes sense and what to focus on - this is especially useful if the budget is small.
