⚡ What is Araxys?
Araxys is a comprehensive security library for FastAPI that provides enterprise-grade protection with a plug & play architecture. Add security to your API with three lines of code — no rewrites, no boilerplate.
v0.14.0 adds AWS WAF Bridge (OpenAPI → WAF rule generation + boto3 apply), Threat Intelligence Feeds (8 sources, IPResolver, background scheduler), GraphQL Security (depth/breadth/cost/introspection validation), Security Headers Audit (9 OWASP checks, CLI audit-headers), and Dynamic Secrets Rotation (background credential rotation, pool hot-swap, admin endpoints, CLI). v0.13.0 added XXE protection, account enumeration prevention, CSRF auto-middleware, and OIDC Discovery. 1958 tests.

return {"status": "ok"}
Brute Force + Password Policy
from fastapi import Depends
from araxys import password_policy_dependency, PasswordPolicyConfig

### 💻 Command Line Interface (CLI)
Araxys includes a professional CLI for managing API keys and security assets directly from your terminal.
**Setup:**
```bash
# Install (CLI included in core)
pip install araxys
# Configure your storage
export ARAXYS_REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
Usage:
# Create a new key
araxys keys create --owner "service-a" --scopes "read,write" --ttl 90
# List active keys in a beautiful table
araxys keys list
# Revoke a key by its prefix
araxys keys revoke [prefix]
Protect an endpoint
@app.get("/data") async def get_data( key: APIKeyRecord = Depends( require_api_key(Scope.READ, manager=shield.api_key_manager) ), ): return {"data": "protected", "owner": key.owner}
### JWT with Token Rotation
```python
from fastapi import Depends
from araxys import Scope
from araxys.jwt_auth.dependencies import require_jwt
from araxys.jwt_auth.tokens import TokenPayload
# Login — issue tokens
@app.post("/auth/login")

return new_pair.model_dump()
# Protected endpoint

Middleware Chain (outer → inner)
CORS → SecureHeaders → Telemetry → CSRF → RateLimit → BruteForce → Honeypot → AccountProtection → IP Access → Sanitize → XXE → Auth (JWT / APIKey / WebAuthn)
🔐 Security Features in Detail
CORS Policy Manager (v0.3)
- Per-origin allowlist with exact match and wildcard
*support - Fail-closed default: empty allowlist denies all cross-origin requests
- Preflight handling: automatic OPTIONS 200 with correct headers
- Full header injection:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Allow-Methods,Allow-Headers,Allow-Credentials,Expose-Headers,Max-Age
IP Access Control (v0.3)
- Three modes: allow (default-deny), block (default-allow), hybrid
- CIDR support for IPv4 and IPv6
- X-Forwarded-For fallback for proxied requests
- Pluggable backends (InMemory + Redis)
CSRF Protection (v0.3 / 🆕 v0.13)
- Double-submit cookie pattern
- Constant-time comparison via
secrets.compare_digest - Per-route opt-in as a FastAPI dependency — original approach
- 🆕 v0.13 — Automatic ASGI middleware (
CSRFMiddleware) — intercepts PUT/POST/DELETE/PATCH automatically, no per-routeDependswiring - Configurable token expiry, cookie security, path exclusions, and safe methods
Brute Force Protection (v0.3)
- Account lockout after N failed attempts (423 Locked response)
- Auto-reset on successful login
- Password policy with 6 configurable rules (length, upper, lower, digit, special)
- HIBP integration via k-anonymity model (opt-in)
Session Management (v0.3)
- Max concurrent sessions per user with auto-revoke of oldest
- Session listing and per-session revocation
- Background cleanup loop for expired sessions
SecurityEventemission on create/revoke
OpenTelemetry (v0.3)
- Opt-in — zero overhead when disabled or OTEL SDK absent
- Graceful no-op fallback when
opentelemetrypackage not installed araxys_span()async context manager for custom spans- Auto-spanning HTTP middleware
Security Event Webhooks (v0.3)
- Unified event bus with 12 event types
- Per-event-type webhook URLs with retry (exponential backoff: 1s/2s/4s)
- Fire-and-forget delivery — never blocks the request
- Internally consumed by Prometheus metrics
Prometheus Metrics (v0.3)
- 9 counters: rate_limit_exceeded, honeypot_triggered, sanitize_blocked, jwt_rotated, csrf_failed, brute_force_lockout, ip_blocked, session_revoked, security_events
- 1 histogram: middleware_duration_seconds
- Standard
/metricsendpoint (configurable path) - Opt-in, no-op when
prometheus-clientnot installed
Rate Limiting
- Sliding window counter per IP + endpoint
- Escalating bans: repeated violations increase ban duration exponentially
- X-RateLimit headers:
Limit,Remaining,Windowinjected in every response - Path exclusion: Skip
/docs,/healthz, etc.
Honeypot Endpoints
- Registers fake routes like
/admin/config,/wp-admin,/.env - Returns 200 OK with fake content (doesn't alert the bot)
- Auto-bans the IP across ALL endpoints
- Integrates with audit logging
API Key Management
- 256-bit entropy keys via
secrets.token_urlsafe - Stored as SHA-256 hashes (raw key is never persisted)
- Scope-based authorization:
read,write,admin - Expiration support with configurable TTL
- Pluggable storage: implement the
APIKeyStorageprotocol with your database
JWT with Token Rotation
- Access + Refresh token pairs following OAuth2 best practices
- JTI-based revocation: each refresh token has a unique ID
- Replay attack detection: reusing a rotated refresh token triggers an alert
- Configurable TTLs: access (default 30min), refresh (default 7 days)
- Scope embedding in token claims

🏭 Production Recommendations
| Aspect | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Backends | Use Redis (araxys[redis]) for multi-worker deployments |
| Secret Key | Generate with openssl rand -hex 32 — never hardcode |
| API Key Storage | Implement APIKeyStorage protocol with your database |
| Audit Logs | Enable encryption + write to a dedicated log file |
| Rate Limits | Tune max_requests and ban_threshold per endpoint |
| CORS | Explicitly list allowed origins — never use * in production |
| Observability | Enable OTEL + Prometheus for production monitoring |
| HTTPS | Always deploy behind TLS — HSTS and secure cookies expect it |
