Nov 27, 2017 php artisan key:generate You may use Lumen Generator. It covers so much commands you are missing from Laravel. The next thing you should do after installing Laravel is set your application key to a random string. If you installed Laravel via Composer or the Laravel installer, this key has already been set for you by the php artisan key:generate command. Typically, this string should be 32 characters long. The key can be set in the.env environment file. Lumen is missing all of the 'make' or 'generate' artisan commands for model, controller, etc. And 'route' for routing.
APP_KEY And You
Every time Laravel developers start or clone a Laravel app, generating the application key or
APP_KEY is one of the most important first steps.
A recent Laravel security update fixed an issue with how
APP_KEY is used. For someone to exploit this issue, they'd need to have access to the production APP_KEY . The simplest fix for the exploit is to rotate (change) your APP_KEY . That led some of us at Tighten to ask the question: What does the app key do? What is involved in rotating it? What are best practices for managing these keys for our Laravel applications?
In this post, we'll talk about what
APP_KEY does and doesn't do, some common misconceptions about its relationship to user password hashing, and the simple steps to changing your APP_KEY safely without losing access to your data.
Laravel Security Fix
In early August, Laravel 5.5 and 5.6 received a security fix related to cookie serialization and encryption. On one hand, the fix is simple and most applications probably weren't affected. On the other hand, it's a serious security risk and reveals the need for our community to better understand how
APP_KEY s work.
Exploiting this security issue requires someone to know your
APP_KEY , which is why I’m going to walk you through the details of your key, why it’s important, and how to change it.
