SINOPSIS

The development of web-resources indicates that there are no uniform standards for the development of secure web-applications, which may lead to bugs and vulnerabilities in web-applications. A vulnerable web-application can be easily hacked without using specialized tools, only using a browser. In the world there is a huge number of web-applications running PHP. Information security threats are so diverse that traditional remedies are not always effective. Based on a comprehensive analysis of security threats for web-applications, a PHP-based web-application firewall has been proposed. The developed web-application firewall consists of four subsystems: a threat detection subsystem, an audit subsystem, a configuration subsystem, and an interactive subsystem. Each subsystem performs certain functions to protect the web-application from information security threats. The proposed solution works as a proxy server and checks all incoming traffic to the web-application, which allows one to control fully all incoming requests. If destructive requests are detected, they are blocked, and the administrator is notified of the current attack on the web-application. Test results show that the firewall can effectively block various malicious attacks at the application level, such as SQL injection, remote code execution (RCE), cross-site scripting (CSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF); remote file inclusion (RFI); local file inclusion (LFI); Auth Bypass−bypass authorization, Brute Force−selection of passwords, etc., as well as comprehensively protect web-applications.
