🚫 Ignore Rules (.securescan-ignore)

Laravel SecureScan allows you to ignore specific files, patterns, or rules using a .securescan-ignore file placed in the project root.

This helps reduce noise and avoid false positives in your scans.

📄 Example

Create a file:

.securescan-ignore

Add rules like:

# Ignore specific files
app/Models/Test.php

# Ignore by pattern
*/Seeder.php

# Ignore by rule
SQL Injection
XSS

🔍 Supported Ignore Types

1. Ignore Specific File

app/Models/Test.php

2. Ignore by Pattern

*/Seeder.php

3. Ignore by Rule Type

SQL Injection
XSS

⚙️ Usage

Run scan with ignore rules enabled:

php artisan security:scan --ignore

⚠️ Important Notes

• Ignore rules are applied after scan results are generated

• Rule matching is based on:

  • File path
  • Finding type (e.g., SQL Injection)

• Keep rules minimal to avoid hiding real vulnerabilities

💡 Best Practice

Use ignore rules only when:

• You have verified a false positive
• The issue is intentionally handled in your code

Avoid blindly ignoring critical issues.
