One way to minimize the chances of these attacks happening is to use a Web application firewall (WAF).
This package implements a Web Application Firewall in PHP for Web servers that support htaccess configuration.
It alters the .htaccess file so requests are handled by a script of this framework. It keeps track of a white list of request URLs supported by your application, so only approved URL formats are allowed.
URLs with unknown formats are put in moderation, so an administrator can approve the URLs or not for future requests.
This way the application can be protected from types of requests meant to perform security exploits.

Some projects need to create files of different types, for instance to create themes and other types of configuration plugins.
Usually these files can be created from templates but if you need non-technical users to edit those files, they will not be able to do it because it is more complicated than they can handle.
This package provides a better alternative that consists in defining parameters that the users can edit using regular Web forms, thus without having to edit templates or configuration files.

Updated on: 2016-10-13
Posted on: 2016-10-13
Some sites need to receive images from users that may not be safe for displaying to non-adults.
In this case it may be better to avoid showing those images to children. However, when you don't know if the user is not an adult, it would be better to show an obfuscated version of the image.
This class can use an API to determine if an image is not safe for showing to non-adults. It can also return a blurred version when it is the case, thus avoid showing the image explicitly.
