I'm testing my application built in Laravel which is a PHP framework. Veracode tool is reporting some of the core files as having high vulnerability. I'm wondering how to proceed as the core files cannot be updated.

    Great question, with any framework or library, there will always be functionality that may be more risky than others, because the framework is designed to provide functionality. The recommendation for handling anything that is third-party is to evaluate your usage of the feature.

     

    You may not be calling the functionality in your application. In this scenario, you will want to document this on the Mitigation Workflow, and pass this to your AppSec Team for review.

     

    You may be calling the functionality in your application. In this scenario, you will want to validate any dynamic data prior to handing it off to the framework. The validation is going to be very specific to the flaw category, the goal, and the context of the data.
