Description

Simple Laravel package with zero dependencies for securing your env values, such as database passwords or API keys, to prevent exposure($_ENV or $_SERVER) due to mistakes

Prerequisites

This package using https://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require izica/laravel-env-secure

Publish config(optional)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Izica\\EnvSecure\\EnvSecureServiceProvider"

Usage

1. Encrypt env value

php artisan env:secure {env key} {--cli} {--decrypt}

Options:

• --cli - only print result in console don't rewrite .env
• --decrypt - decrypt env value

Example:

php artisan env:secure DB_PASSWORD

Your env file will change from:

DB_PASSWORD=somepassword

to:

DB_PASSWORD=scr::zvzEOZDAE4k/7D/rx

2. Change config to

//config/database.php

use \Izica\EnvSecure\EnvSecure;

[
    //...
    'connections' => [
         //...
        'mysql' => [
            //...
            'password' => EnvSecure::env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        ]
    ]
]

Config

//config env-secure.php
return [
    "prefix"    => env('ENV_SECURE_PREFIX', 'scr::'),
    "algorithm" => env('ENV_SECURE_ALGORITHM', 'AES-128-CTR'),  // https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-get-cipher-methods.php
    "iv"        => env('ENV_SECURE_IV', 1234567891011121),
    "key"       => env('ENV_SECURE_KEY', null), //APP_KEY by default. If you change the key after the values have been secured, you will not be able to decrypt the values in the future.
];

Security recommendations

Set the key directly in the file, like:

//config env-secure.php
return [
   //...
    "key" => "kovdj43ksadjl32jlk"
];
