Hi,

I would like to start a bit controversial discussion about the topic
indicated in the subject.

"Is listing your site on
http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/ApplicationsDevelopedWithSymfony a
security issue?"

 

It happens already now that somebody announces on this list her or his new
site and the next comment is "you should remove your frontend_dev.php"

 

Lets just assume there is a bug inside symfony that does this or that. Might
be a more severe one, that might dump database information or similar.

Further assume this bug exposes a way to exploit it. Isnt it then a risk to
provide the attacker with such a densely populated list of urls he can
directly attack?

 

What is the purpose of this list at the moment? Showing that the framework
is good enough? Couldn't it be changed to some kind of testimonial system
with just giving emails where you can ask for references?

 

And what about building in more security by default?

e.g. accepting just localhost connections by default in the _dev frontends
(which have to be consciously be modified to enable remote logins?)

 

What do you think?

 

.: Fabian
