PHP Security

This file extends the common security rule with PHP specific content.

Database Safety

• Use prepared statements (PDO, Doctrine, Eloquent query builder) for all dynamic queries.
• Scope ORM mass-assignment carefully and whitelist writable fields.

Secrets and Dependencies

• Load secrets from environment variables or a secret manager, never from committed config files.
• Run composer audit in CI and review package trust before adding dependencies.

Auth and Session Safety

• Use password_hash() / password_verify() for password storage.
• Regenerate session identifiers after authentication and privilege changes.
• Enforce CSRF protection on state-changing web requests.
