psecio/versionscanA PHP version scanner for reporting possible vulnerabilities
Versionscan is a tool for evaluating your currently installed PHP version and checking it against known CVEs and the versions they were fixed in to report back potential issues.
PLEASE NOTE: Work is still in progress to adapt the tool to linux distributions that backport security fixes. As of right now, this only reports back for the straight up version reported.
{
"require": {
"psecio/versionscan": "dev-master"
}
}
The only current dependency is the Symfony console.
To run the scan against your current PHP version, use:
bin/versionscan
The script will check the PHP_VERSION for the current instance and
generate the pass/fail results. The output looks similar to:
Executing against version: 5.4.24
+--------+---------------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Status | CVE ID | Risk | Summary |
+--------+---------------+------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| FAIL | CVE-2014-3597 | 6.8 | Multiple buffer overflows in the php_parserr function in ext/standard/dns.c in PHP before 5.4.32 ... |
| FAIL | CVE-2014-3587 | 4.3 | Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c in file through 5.19, as used in... |
Results will be reported back colorized as well to easily show the pass/fail of the check.
There are several parameters that can be given to the tool to configure its scans and results:
If you'd like to define a PHP version to check other than the one the script finds itself, you can use the php-version parameter:
bin/versionscan scan --php-version=4.3.2
You can also tell the versionscan to only report back the failures and not the passing tests:
bin/versionscan scan --fail-only
You can also sort the results either by the CVE ID or by severity (risk rating), with the sort parameter
and either the "cve" or "risk" value:
bin/versionscan scan --sort=risk
By default versionscan will output information directly to the console in a human-readable result. You can also specify other output formats that may be easier to parse programatically (like JSON). Use the --format option to change the output:
vendor/bin/versionscan scan --php-version=5.5 --format=json
Supported output formats are console, json, xml and html.
The HTML output format requires an --output option of the directory to write the file:
vendor/bin/versionscan scan --php-version=5.5 --format=html --output=/var/www/output
The result will be written to a file named something like versionscan-output-20150808.html
