⚡ 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.

🚀 Quick Start

Full Protection (All Modules)

from fastapi import FastAPI
from araxys import AraxysShield, AraxysConfig

app = FastAPI()

shield = AraxysShield(
    app,
    AraxysConfig(
        secret_key="super-secret-key-at-least-32-chars!",
        redis_url="redis://localhost:6379",  # Optional — omit for in-memory
        cors={"allow_origins": ["https://myapp.com"], "allow_methods": ["GET", "POST"]},
        ip_access={"enabled": True, "mode": "block", "blocklist": ["10.0.0.0/8"]},
        rate_limit={"window_seconds": 60, "max_requests": 100},
        honeypot={"paths": ["/admin/config", "/wp-admin", "/.env"]},
        brute_force={"enabled": True, "max_attempts": 5},
        csrf={"enabled": True},
        secure_headers={"enabled": True},
        sanitize={"enabled": True},
        audit={"encrypt": True, "log_file": "audit.log"},
        telemetry={"enabled": True, "service_name": "my-api"},
        metrics={"enabled": True},
    ),
)

CORS Policy

# Fail-closed by default — explicitly allow origins
config = AraxysConfig(
    secret_key="...",
    cors={"allow_origins": ["https://app.example.com"], "allow_methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT"]},
)
# CORS middleware is always registered. Empty allow_origins = deny all.

IP Access Control

# Allow mode — only listed IPs get through
config = AraxysConfig(
    secret_key="...",
    ip_access={"enabled": True, "mode": "allow", "allowlist": ["10.0.1.0/24", "192.168.1.100"]},
)

CSRF Protection

# v0.13 — Automatic ASGI middleware (no per-route wiring needed)
config = AraxysConfig(
    secret_key="...",
    csrf={"enabled": True},  # Intercepts PUT/POST/DELETE/PATCH automatically
)

# v0.12 and earlier — Per-route opt-in
from fastapi import Depends
from araxys import csrf_protected, CSRFConfig

@app.post("/submit", dependencies=[Depends(csrf_protected(CSRFConfig()))])
async def submit_form():
    return {"status": "ok"}

Brute Force + Password Policy

from fastapi import Depends
from araxys import password_policy_dependency, PasswordPolicyConfig

@app.post("/auth/register")
async def register(
    password: str = Depends(password_policy_dependency(PasswordPolicyConfig())),
):
    # Password already validated — min 8 chars, upper, lower, digit, special
    return {"status": "registered"}

API Key Authentication

from fastapi import Depends
from araxys import Scope
from araxys.api_keys.dependencies import require_api_key
from araxys.api_keys.models import APIKeyRecord

# Create a key
key = await shield.api_key_manager.create_key(
    owner="service-a",
    scopes=[Scope.READ, Scope.WRITE],
    ttl_days=90,
)
print(f"Save this key: {key.raw_key}")  # Shown only once!

### 💻 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")
async def login(username: str, password: str):
    # ... validate credentials ...
    pair = await shield.jwt_manager.create_token_pair(
        subject=user.id,
        scopes=[Scope.READ, Scope.WRITE],
    )
    return pair.model_dump()

# Refresh — rotate tokens (old refresh token is blacklisted)
@app.post("/auth/refresh")
async def refresh(refresh_token: str):
    new_pair = await shield.jwt_manager.rotate_tokens(refresh_token)
    return new_pair.model_dump()

# Protected endpoint
@app.get("/profile")
async def profile(
    user: TokenPayload = Depends(
        require_jwt(Scope.READ, jwt_manager=shield.jwt_manager)
    ),
):
    return {"user_id": user.sub, "scopes": user.scopes}

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-route Depends wiring
  • 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
  • SecurityEvent emission on create/revoke

OpenTelemetry (v0.3)

  • Opt-in — zero overhead when disabled or OTEL SDK absent
  • Graceful no-op fallback when opentelemetry package 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 /metrics endpoint (configurable path)
  • Opt-in, no-op when prometheus-client not installed

Rate Limiting

  • Sliding window counter per IP + endpoint
  • Escalating bans: repeated violations increase ban duration exponentially
  • X-RateLimit headers: Limit, Remaining, Window injected 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 APIKeyStorage protocol 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

Secure Headers

Header Default Value
Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
X-Frame-Options DENY
X-XSS-Protection 0 (disabled — modern best practice)
Referrer-Policy strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy same-origin (v0.3)
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy same-origin (v0.3)
Content-Security-Policy Configurable (CSP builder in v0.3)
Permissions-Policy Configurable
Server Hidden by default (v0.3)

XXE Protection (v0.13)

  • Regex-based pre-scanning: DTD, ENTITY, SYSTEM, <!DOCTYPE> detection
  • Entity expansion detection: Billion-laughs / quadratic blowup via XXEScanner
  • ASGI middleware: XXEMiddleware — intercepts XML content types at the middleware level
  • Per-endpoint guard: xxe_guard Depends for targeted protection
  • Zero external dependencies: stdlib-only, no defusedxml required
  • Security events: XXE_DETECTED security event + audit trail

Account Enumeration Prevention (v0.13)

  • Unified error messages: Auth endpoints return identical responses regardless of user/key existence
  • Timing jitter: Randomized response delays to mask timing-based enumeration
  • Fake hash pre-lookup: Constant-time fake hash verification for non-existent API keys
  • ASGI middleware: AccountProtectionMiddleware normalizes 401/403 responses
  • Enumeration detection: Identifies scanning patterns and emits audit events

OIDC Discovery (v0.13)

  • RFC 8414 client: Async OIDCDiscoveryClient fetches /.well-known/openid-configuration
  • Pydantic metadata model: OIDCProviderMetadata with required fields (issuer, authorization_endpoint, token_endpoint, jwks_uri)
  • In-memory TTL cache: Keyed by issuer URL, configurable cache duration
  • OAuth2Provider integration: OAuth2Provider.from_issuer() classmethod for auto-discovery
  • Graceful error handling: Timeout, invalid JSON, missing fields → OIDCDiscoveryError

AWS WAF Bridge (v0.14)

  • OpenAPI → WAF rules: SchemaReader + WafRuleGenerator produce IP sets, regex pattern sets, rule groups, Web ACL JSON
  • boto3 apply: WafClient with lazy boto3, semaphore-guarded, supports create/update IP sets, rule groups, Web ACLs
  • Multi-strike escalation: WafEscalationSubscriber with configurable threshold, dry-run, TTL eviction, auto-adds blocked IPs to AWS
  • CLI: araxys waf generate, araxys waf apply

Threat Intelligence Feeds (v0.14)

  • 8 feed sources: Firehol (levels 1–3), Spamhaus DROP/EDROP, Blocklist.de, AbuseIPDB, AlienVault OTX
  • IPResolver: Cross-feed dedup, CIDR exclusion, in-memory TTL tracking with eviction, bulk sync to backend
  • Background scheduler: Staggered feed loops, per-feed asyncio.Tasks, refresh/stats/purge API
  • Security events: THREAT_INTEL_LOADED, THREAT_INTEL_MATCH emitted on IP match
  • CLI: araxys threat-intel refresh|stats|purge|feeds

GraphQL Security (v0.14)

  • 4 validators: Depth limit, breadth limit, cost limit, introspection disable
  • graphql-core AST: Parses and validates queries via graphql-core before processing
  • ASGI middleware: Intercepts POST /graphql, returns GraphQL-formatted errors on violations
  • Security events: GRAPHQL_BLOCKED emitted on query violation
  • Optional dependency: araxys[graphql]

Security Headers Audit (v0.14)

Dynamic Secrets Rotation (v0.14)

  • Background credential rotation: SecretsRotationScheduler re-resolves secrets via ChainedResolver on configurable interval
  • Pool hot-swap: reload_url()/reload_dsn() on RedisPool, SentinelPool, ClusterPool, InMemoryPool, and PGPool — PING validates new URL before atomic swap
  • Security events: SECRET_ROTATING, SECRET_ROTATED, SECRET_ROTATION_FAILED
  • Admin API: POST /admin/secrets/rotate, GET /admin/secrets/status
  • CLI: araxys secrets rotate [--target NAME], araxys secrets status

Payload Sanitization

  • 16 SQL injection patterns: UNION, DROP, blind injection, time-based, etc.
  • 9 XSS patterns: script tags, JS URIs, event handlers, iframes
  • Recursive scanning with configurable depth limit
  • SQLi → block (400 response) · XSS → strip (bleach)

Encrypted Audit Logging

  • AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption (confidentiality + integrity)
  • PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key derivation (480,000 iterations — OWASP 2023)

🏭 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
