Adds reusable MongoDB infrastructure, a five-level NoSQL Injection authentication lab, local Docker Compose support, PR validation, and main-only image publishing. The Dockerfile preserves rewrite and FileUpload behavior. Validated with container PHP lint, NoSQL injection checks, secure Level 5 behavior, and FileUpload multipart upload. Closes #21. Closes #22.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds MongoDB support, five NoSQL injection challenge levels, DAST routing, Docker Compose services, vulnerability metadata, and GitHub Actions workflows for validation and multi-platform image publishing.

Changes

MongoDB NoSQL Injection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Container and database foundation
Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, src/Mongo/MongoConnection.php, README.md
The PHP container uses Apache PHP 8.0 with the MongoDB extension and rewrite support. Docker Compose adds PHP, facade, and MongoDB services. MongoConnection provides environment-based access, seed initialization, queries, and error handling.
Authentication challenge implementation
src/NoSQLInjectionVulnerability/NoSQLInjection.php, resources/i18n/messages.ini
NoSQLInjection implements five login levels with level-specific query and password-handling logic. It defines vulnerability metadata, hints, payloads, challenge cards, and localized descriptions.
Routing and challenge interface
src/framework/Bootstrap.php, static/templates/NoSQLInjectionVulnerability/LEVEL_1/*, src/Scanner/DASTScanner.php
Bootstrap registers the five NoSQL injection routes and the DAST route. The template and JavaScript submit login payloads and render results. DASTScanner emits JSON rows for vulnerability levels.
Vulnerability metadata normalization
src/FileUploadVulnerability/FileUpload.php, src/MagicHashVulnerability/MagicHash.php
File-upload levels use centralized configurations, hint types, descriptions, and challenge cards. Two MagicHash challenge card texts use generic authentication wording.
Validation and image publishing
.github/workflows/php.yml, .github/workflows/docker.yml
The validation workflow starts the Compose stack, checks PHP syntax, tests NoSQL injection and file-upload flows, and removes services and volumes. The Docker workflow publishes linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 images tagged with the commit SHA and latest.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 232d8

The lab can be exposed to reachable network clients and has deployment and validation gaps that can leave the image unpatched, seed duplicate accounts, or miss broken file retrieval. Address these before merging unless the risks are explicitly accepted.

Explanation

The pull request includes changes without a demonstrated connection to issues #21 or #22. src/Scanner/DASTScanner.php adds a DAST endpoint that the validation workflow does not use. src/MagicHashVulnerability/MagicHash.php changes an unrelated challenge card. src/FileUploadVulnerability/FileUpload.php refactors unrelated FileUpload metadata beyond the workflow check. The linked issues do not request these feature changes.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 2.56% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 39 functions across 7 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

step so the retrieval curl command validates its response body against the
uploaded “test image” content using fixed-string, whole-line matching, rather
than discarding output with `--output /dev/null`; preserve the existing HTTP
failure handling.

In `@Dockerfile`:
- Line 1: Update the Dockerfile’s PHP Apache base image from the end-of-life PHP
8.0 release to a currently supported PHP version, verifying application and
extension compatibility and running the application checks against the
replacement.

In `@src/Mongo/MongoConnection.php`:
- Around line 55-57: Update seedIfRequired() to create unique indexes on (level,
username) and seedMarker before seeding, replace each user insert with an upsert
using the level/username key, and upsert the seed marker by seedMarker so
concurrent requests and retries remain idempotent.

In `@static/templates/NoSQLInjectionVulnerability/LEVEL_1/NoSQLInjection.js`:
- Line 38: Update the loginUri construction in the NoSQL injection UI to use the
absolute shared login route, while preserving the existing level selection for
LEVEL_1 through LEVEL_5.

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-1327

Restrict the facade port to loopback.

"80:80" publishes the facade on all host interfaces. If the Docker host is reachable, an unauthenticated network client can access the lab through this service. Bind the port to 127.0.0.1:80:80 for local use, unless remote exposure is an explicit requirement.

Based on learnings: Docker Compose mappings without an explicit host IP bind to all network interfaces.
