[Free Module] Advanced Security Module

[MathiasReker 18]

PrestaShop Module: Security Lite

With this module the risk of getting hacked is decreased. You should always care about security. By using this module, you add another layer of security to your PrestaShop website, that will benefit you in case someone tries to get unauthorized access.

I did not add settings that are obviously already covered by PrestaShop core with another technique, but when that it said, if some technique having more layers is good practice, I added those extra layers of security.

 

Here are the features you will have with this FREE module:

• Brute force protection
• Analyze HTTP headers
• Block custom list of IP addresses
• Block custom list of user agents
• Ban IP’s
• Automatic backup database
• Generate strong passwords
• Fix insecure permissions
• Remove malicious files
• Disable right click
• Disable right click for images only
• Check your shop for all known vulnerabilities

 

Download it here (v. 4.5.1): securitylite.zip

The installation of Security Pro is 100% according to PrestaShop's standards.

For PrestaShop 1.6.1.x and thirty bees 1.x.x Login into your shop's back office Go to "Add a new module" Click on "Choose a file" Browse for the module Click on "Upload this module" Look for the module and click "Install".

For PrestaShop 1.7.x.x Login into your shop's back office Go to "Modules & Services" Click on "Upload a Module" Browse for the module Upload and install the module.

The code quality is high and follows PretaShop's guidelines. The code is optimized for performance and security.

The module does not use overrides and none of the core-files are modified, so you are completely safe against conflicts between other modules.

Works on all major server software (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, etc.). Works on PrestaShop 1.6.1.x, 1.7.x.x and on thirty bees 1.x.x. Works on PHP 5.6.x, 7.0.x, 7.1.x and 7.2.x.

Everything is very well tested. No known bugs exist and the module is battle tested! The module is already in production on many stores.

Hello.

I have review your module a little and I have an advice for an improvement and a report for an issue.

1. Will be good, if you add to your free version of the module the functionality to check security vulnerabilities that are known from CVE. This is my free and open-source library, that you can use on your free and paid module versions both: Security vulnerability checker

2. In your SecurityLite::getContent() method there is an issue. Every loading of the module settings page, your module clear the system cache

    public function getContent()
    {
        $output = null;

        if ((bool) Tools::isSubmit('submitSecurityLiteModule')) { ... }

        return $output . $this->renderForm() . $this->checkSystem() . $this->securityPro() . $this->clearCache();
    }

    public function clearCache()
    {
        Tools::clearSmartyCache();
        Tools::clearXMLCache();
        Media::clearCache();
        Tools::generateIndex();
    }

@zapalm Thank you.

1) I included your suggestions and made a fix for CVE-2018-7491.

2) You are right, it is superfluous to clear the case.

@TCHOUPI You can't install @zapalm's library as a module, it is a script. Btw. I included the checks in my module.

Advice for you for the future work  You lose the benefits if you copy the library's code into your module. The best way is using Composer to keep up to date the library and get new vulnerability checks

I had to refactor your functions. Also I don't want to include the checks for 1.6. :-)

[mr_absinthe 2]

Hi, wanted to try the module, PS 1.7.5.1, debug enabled, see the image pls. What exactly does it mean?

[MathiasReker 18]

mr_absinthe, your server settings is not right configured.

You need to go to your php.ini file and look for allow_url_fopen. The value of this PHP configuration should be "On".

allow_url_fopen = On

Allow_url_fopen is required when you use PrestaShop.

If you don't know how, you can ask your hosting to change the value for you.

[mr_absinthe 2]

That is exactly what I have in php.ini. Cache cleared, browser and PS. Still the same.

[MathiasReker 18]

Can you try to restart your server? Do you have any files overriding your php.ini file?

[mr_absinthe 2]

Server rebooted. Still the same. No I don't have any overrides related to php.ini as far as I know. Resetting module didn't help either.

Weird.

I managed to reproduce the warning with "allow_url_fopen = Off". I made a refractory of my code to make it work with the setting off.

I will release new version tonight.

[mr_absinthe 2]

Weird is that I have

allow_url_fopen = On

Yes, it is weird that you get the warning with allow_url_fopen = On

But don't worry. I fixed it on my dev version. I will release a new version very soon.

Edited May 6, 2019 by shinetech.dk (see edit history)

[MathiasReker 18]

@mr_absinthe I just uploaded a new version, please give it a try. It should fix your warning. 🙂

[mr_absinthe 2]

Seems to be working fine, on my test server at the moment 😉 Will go for PRO version if there will be some kind of discount available in the near future. Is your "file changes" section checking for Size | Permissions {File | Group | Owner} | Time | Stamp ?

The file changes will send you an e-mail with all files changes since last check. You decide how often you want to check. You set that interval in a cron-job. In the e-mail you will get a full path to the changed files. The file changes works by comparing a hash. 🙂

[MathiasReker 18]

There will be a discount period when next release of PRO version get released. I release a new version this week with new PRO features.

[mr_absinthe 2]

OK, if you will be sending a discount code, please let me have one as the current price is rather steep.

What about the umask issue in core PrestaShop that converts new module directories to 0777 once they get uploaded?

[MathiasReker 18]

It is already solved. click on the tab "Permissions" then enable the features and "Save". This will run a script that fix all permissions on your PrestaShop website. Repeat this everytime you install a module.

 

It is overkill to hook this script or set it up as a cronjob. Lets keep the module lightweight so it does not affect your shops performance.

That would be certainly good feature to have, also if those banned IPs are listed below each other, such as:

123.12.12.11

123.11.11.13

etc. so we can search them unlike it is done on the maintenance settings.

On my two servers, I noticed "Some features in Security Pro might not work on your setup, because your .htaccess file is not used! (Apache)" however on both the .htaccess is present in root.

As a test, I have manually changed permissions an a directory to 777 using FileZilla. With debug disabled, I run the fix using your module, permissions are changed back to 755 and success message "Permissions updated!" is received. Do you still think that I do not have permission to use chmod()?
