summary
Zero Trust applied to PHP apps gives concrete fixes not promises: replace session cookies with OAuth2 tokens via Laravel Passport, require MFA and scoped RBAC using JWTs, encrypt PII with OpenSSL or the Laravel Crypt facade, use PHP 8.2 execute_query and input validation to prevent SQL injection, add composer audit and npm audit in CI/CD, monitor with Datadog and rotate tokens, and learn from two real bounties $35,000 and $25,000 illustrated with before/after code examples.
