| + | {| style="width: 100%;" |
| | + | | style="vertical-align:top;" | The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is a set of generic attack detection rules for use with [https://modsecurity.org ModSecurity] or compatible web application firewalls. The CRS aims to protect web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the [[Top10|OWASP Top Ten]], with a minimum of false alerts. The CRS provides protection against many common attack categories, including SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting, Locale File Inclusion, etc. |

| − | ModSecurity™ is a web application firewall engine that provides very little protection on its own. In order to become useful, ModSecurity™ must be configured with rules. In order to enable users to take full advantage of ModSecurity™ out of the box, the [https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Defenders OWASP Defender Community] has developed and maintains a free set of application protection rules called the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS). Unlike intrusion detection and prevention systems, which rely on signatures specific to known vulnerabilities, the CRS provides '''''generic protection''''' from unknown vulnerabilities often found in web applications.

| − | | |
| − | '''Quick Start'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Core Rule Set Quick Setup ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To activate the rules for your web server installation:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1) The modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf includes management rules and directives
| |
| − | that can control important CRS functions. Pay attention to
| |
| − | the SecRuleEngine setting (On by default) and that the SecDefaultAction
| |
| − | directive is set to "pass". The 49 inbound blocking and 59 outbound blocking
| |
| − | rules files use the "block" action which
| |
| − | inherits this setting. The effectively means that you can toggle the
| |
| − | SecDefaultAction setting to decide if you would like to deny on an
| |
| − | anomaly scoring/correlation match.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Update the PARANOID_MODE variable setting if you want to become more
| |
| − | aggressive in your detection. Caution - this will cause more false positives.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Should also update the appropriate anomaly scoring levels that will be propagated
| |
| − | to the inbound/outbound blocking files.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Update the TX policy settings for allowed Request Methods, File Extensions, etc...
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Add the following line to your httpd.conf (assuming
| |
| − | you've placed the rule files into conf/modsecurity_crs/):
| |
| − | | |
| − | <IfModule security2_module>
| |
| − | Include conf/modsecurity_crs/*.conf
| |
| − | Include conf/modsecurity_crs/base_rules/*.conf
| |
| − | </IfModule>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Restart web server.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4) Make sure your web sites are still running fine.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5) Simulate an attack against the web server. Then check
| |
| − | the attack was correctly logged in the Apache error log,
| |
| − | ModSecurity debug log (if you enabled it) and ModSecurity
| |
| − | audit log (if you enabled it).

| |
| − | | |
| − | *Project participants are encouraged to copy this template and create landing pages for each CRS rule
| |
| − | *Use this template and create a new page using the following format - http://www.owasp.org/index.php?title=ModSecurity_CRS_RuleID-XXXXX (where XXXXX is the CRS ruleID)

| − | == ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ModSecurity Core Rule Set is provided to you under the terms and
| |
| − | conditions of GPL version 2
| |
| − | | |
| − | This directory contains the files for Core ModSecurity Rule Set
| |
| − | The rules are compatible with ModSecurity 2.5 (as of version 1.4.3)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Overview ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Using ModSecurity requires rules. In order to enable users to take full
| |
| − | advantage of ModSecurity immediately, Trustwave is providing a free
| |
| − | Core rule set. Unlike intrusion detection and prevention systems which
| |
| − | rely on signature specific to known vulnerabilities, the Core Rule Set
| |
| − | provides generic protection from unknown vulnerabilities often found in web
| |
| − | application that are in most cases custom coded. This is what we call "Attack
| |
| − | Payload Detection."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keep in mind that a predefined rule set is only part of the work required to
| |
| − | protect your web site. We strongly urge you to consult Ivan Ristic's book,
| |
| − | "ModSecurity Handbook" http://store.feistyduck.com/products/modsecurity-handbook
| |
| − | and the ModSecurity Reference Manual - http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/.
| |
| − | The CRS is heavily commented to allow it to be used as a step-by-step
| |
| − | deployment guide for ModSecurity.

| − | | |
| − | == CRS 2.0 Design Concepts ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === CRS < 2.0 - Self-Contained Rules ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Older (<2.0) CRS used individual, “self-contained” actions in rules
| |
| − | - If a rule triggered, it would either deny or pass and log
| |
| − | - No intelligence was shared between rules
| |
| − | Not optimal from a rules management perspective (handling false positives/exceptions)
| |
| − | - Editing the regex could blow it up
| |
| − | - Typical method was to copy/paste rules into custom rules files and then edit rule logic
| |
| − | and disable core rule ID.
| |
| − | - Heavily customized rules were less likely to be updated by the user
| |
| − | Not optimal from a security perspective
| |
| − | - Not every site had the same risk tolerance
| |
| − | - Lower severity alerts were largely ignored
| |
| − | - Individual low severity alerts are not important but several low severity events
| |
| − | in the same transaction are.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == CRS 2.0 - Collaborative Detection ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Rules - Detection and Management ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rules logic has changed by decoupling the inspection/detection from the blocking functionality
| |
| − | - Rules log.pass and set transactional variables (tx) to track anomaly scores and to
| |
| − | store meta-data about the rule match
| |
| − | - This TX rule match data can be used by other 3rd party rules (converter Emerging Threats
| |
| − | Snort web attack rules) to more accurately correlate identified attacks with their
| |
| − | attack vector locations.
| |
| − | - TX data of previous strong rule matches can also be used to conditionally apply weaker signatures
| |
| − | that normally would have a high fasle positive rate.
| |
| − | - Rules also increase anomaly scores for both the attack category and global score which allows
| |
| − | users to set a threshold that is appropriate for them.
| |
| − | - This also allows several low severity events to trigger alerts while individual ones are suppressed.
| |
| − | - Exceptions may be handled by either increasing the overall anomaly score threshold, or
| |
| − | by adding rules to a local custom exceptions file where TX data of previous rule matches
| |
| − | may be inspected and anomaly scores re-adjusted based on the false positive criteria.
| |
| − | | |
| − | User can now globally update which variables to inspect and the anomaly score settings in the
| |
| − | modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file.
| |
| − | - PARANOID_MODE setting which will apply rules to locations that have a higher false positive rate
| |
| − | - INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE setting will be populated in the inbound blocking file and if a transaction
| |
| − | score at the end of phase:2 is equal to or greater than this number, it will be denied.
| |
| − | - OUTBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE setting will be populated in the outbound blocking file and it a transaction
| |
| − | score at the end of phase:4 is equal to or greater than this number, it will be denied.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Inbound/Outbound Blocking ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The CRS rules themselves are configured with the pass action, which allows all the rules to be processed
| |
| − | and for the proposed anomaly scoring/collaborative detection concept to work. The inbound/outbound anomaly
| |
| − | score levels may be set in the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file. These scores will be evaluated in the
| |
| − | modsecurity_crs_49_inbound_blocking.conf and modsecurity_crs_59_outbound_blocking.conf files.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Alert Management - Correlated Event Creation ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the top feedback items we have heard is that the CRS events in the Apache error_log file
| |
| − | were very chatty. This was due to each rule triggering its own error_log entry. What most people
| |
| − | wanted was for 1 correlated event to be generated that would give the user a higher level
| |
| − | determination as to what the event category was.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To that end- each CRS rule will generate an audit log event Message entry but they will not log
| |
| − | to the error_log on their own. These rules are now considered basic or reference events and
| |
| − | may be reviewed in the audit log if the user wants to see what individual events contributed
| |
| − | to the overall anomaly score and event designation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Inbound/Outbound Correlation ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | After the transaction has completed (in the logging phase), the rules in the
| |
| − | base_rules/modsecurity_crs_60_correlation.conf file will conduct further post-processing by
| |
| − | analyzing any inbound events with any outbound events in order to provide a more
| |
| − | intelligent/priority correlated event.
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Was there an inbound attack?
| |
| − | - Was there an HTTP Status Code Error (4xx/5xx level)?
| |
| − | - Was there an application information leak?
| |
| − | | |
| − | If an inbound attack was detected
| |
| − | and either an outbound application status code error or infolead was detected, then the overall
| |
| − | event severity is raised -
| |
| − | | |
| − | - 0: Emergency - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and
| |
| − | an outbound leakage.
| |
| − | - 1: Alert - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and an
| |
| − | outbound application level error.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Core Rule Set Content ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In order to provide generic web applications protection, the Core Rule Set
| |
| − | uses the following techniques:
| |
| − | | |
| − | === HTTP Protocol Validation and Protection ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Detecting violations of the HTTP protocol and a locally
| |
| − | defined usage policy. This first line of protection ensures that all abnormal HTTP
| |
| − | requests are detected. This line of defense eliminates a large number of
| |
| − | automated and non targeted attacks as well as protects the web server itself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_20_protocol_violations.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Protocol vulnerabilities such as Response Splitting, Request Smuggling, Premature URL ending
| |
| − | - Content length only for non GET/HEAD methods
| |
| − | - Non ASCII characters or encoding in headers
| |
| − | - Valid use of headers (for example, content length is numerical)
| |
| − | - Proxy Access
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_21_protocol_anomalies.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Attack requests are different due to automation
| |
| − | - Missing headers such as Host, Accept, User-Agent
| |
| − | - Host is an IP address (common worm propagation method)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_23_request_limits.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Policy is usually application specific
| |
| − | - Some restrictions can usually be applied generically
| |
| − | - White lists can be build for specific environments
| |
| − | Limitations on Sizes
| |
| − | - Request size, Upload size
| |
| − | - # of parameters, length of parameter
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_30_http_policy.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Items that can be allowed or restricted
| |
| − | - Methods - Allow or restrict WebDAV, block abused methods such as CONNECT, TRACE or DEBUG
| |
| − | - File extensions – backup files, database files, ini files
| |
| − | - Content-Types (and to some extent other headers)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Automation Detection ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Automated clients are both a security risk and a
| |
| − | commercial risk. Automated crawlers collect information from your site, consume
| |
| − | bandwidth and might also search for vulnerabilities on the web site. Automation
| |
| − | detection is especially useful for generic detection of comments spam.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Detecting bots, crawlers, scanners and other surface malicious activity.
| |
| − | Not aimed against targeted attacks, but against general malicious internet activity
| |
| − | - Offloads a lot of cyberspace junk & noise
| |
| − | - Effective against comment spam
| |
| − | - Reduce event count
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_35_bad_robots.conf ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Detection of Malicious Robots
| |
| − | - Unique request attributes: User-Agent header, URL, Headers
| |
| − | - RBL Check of IP addresses
| |
| − | - Detection of security scanners
| |
| − | - Blocking can confuse security testing software (WAFW00f)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== optional_rules/modsecurity_crs_42_comment_spam.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | This rules file is only relevant if you are concerned about comment SPAM attacks.
| |
| − | The rules file will run an RBL check against the source IP address at SPAMHAUS and will
| |
| − | cache the response for 1 day. If the client sends subsequent requests, it will be denied
| |
| − | without having to re-run an RBL check.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This file will also look for comment SPAM posting attacks which submit URL links.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Common Web Attacks Protection ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Common Web Attacks Protection Rules on the second level address the common web
| |
| − | application security attack methods. These are the issues that can appear in
| |
| − | any web application. Some of the issues addressed are:
| |
| − | | |
| − | - SQL Injection
| |
| − | - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
| |
| − | - OS Command execution
| |
| − | - Remote code inclusion
| |
| − | - LDAP Injection
| |
| − | - SSI Injection
| |
| − | - Information leak
| |
| − | - Buffer overflows
| |
| − | - File disclosure
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_40_generic_attacks.conf ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | - OS command injection and remote command access
| |
| − | - Remote file inclusion
| |
| − | - Session Fixation
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== optional_rules/modsecurity_crs_40_experimental.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The rules in this file are considered BETA quality as they have not been rigorously tested.
| |
| − | They attempt to address advanced attacks such as HTTP Parameter Pollution or use new rule
| |
| − | features or techniques.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_42_tight_security.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | This rules file attempts to identify all directory traversal variations. It is prone to a high
| |
| − | level of false positives so set PARANOID_MODE if you want to run these rules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_41_sql_injection.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | - SQL injection and blind SQL injection
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_41_xss.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Cross site scripting (XSS)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Trojan Protection ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ModSecurity Core Rule Set detects access to back doors
| |
| − | installed on a web server. This feature is very important in a hosting
| |
| − | environment when some of this backdoors may be uploaded in a legitimate way and
| |
| − | used maliciously. In addition the Core Rule Set includes a hook for adding
| |
| − | an Anti-Virus program such as ClamAV for checking file uploads.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_45_trojans.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | - Check uploading of http backdoor page
| |
| − | - Access detection
| |
| − | - Known signatures (x_key header)
| |
| − | - Generic file management output (gid, uid, drwx, c:\)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === InfoLeakages ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If all fails, the Core Rule Set will detect errors sent by
| |
| − | the web server. Detecting and blocking errors prevents attackers from
| |
| − | collecting reconnaissance information about the web application and also server
| |
| − | as a last line of defense in case an attack was not detected eariler.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== base_rules/modsecurity_crs_50_outbound.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | - HTTP Error Response Status Codes
| |
| − | - SQL Information Leakage
| |
| − | - Stack Dumps
| |
| − | - Source Code Leakage
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Request Header Tagging ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | This concept is similar to anti-SPAM SMTP apps that will add additional mime headers
| |
| − | to emails providing the SPAM detection analysis information. The CRS is attempting
| |
| − | to mimic this concept at the HTTP layer by adding additional request headers that
| |
| − | provide insight into any ModSecurity events that may have triggered during processing.
| |
| − | The advantage of this approach is that it allows a WAF to be in a detection-only mode
| |
| − | while still providing attack data to the destination application server. The recieving
| |
| − | app server may then inspect the WAF request headers and make a determination whether
| |
| − | or not to process the transaction. This concept is valuable in distributed web environments
| |
| − | and hosting architectures where a determination to block may only be appropriate at the
| |
| − | destination app server.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== optional_rules/modsecurity_crs_49_header_tagging.conf ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | This rules file will take all of the TX attack variable data and populate Apache ENV
| |
| − | variables that Apache can then use to add X-WAF-Event request header data to the
| |
| − | request.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example showing the consolidated X-WAF-Events and X-WAF-Score data -
| |
| − | | |
| − | GET /path/to/foo.php?test=1%27%20or%20%272%27=%272%27;-- HTTP/1.1
| |

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 2.0.9 - 11/17/2010 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Improvements:
| |
| − | * Changed the name of the main config file to modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf.example so that
| |
| − | it will not overwrite existing config settings. Users should rename this file to activate
| |
| − | it.
| |
| − | * Traditional detection mode is now the current default
| |
| − | * Users can now more easily toggle between traditional/standard mode vs. anomaly scoring mode
| |
| − | by editing the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file
| |
| − | * Updated the disruptive actions in most rules to use "block" action instead of "pass". This
| |
| − | is to allow for the toggling between traditional vs. anomaly scoring modes.
| |
| − | * Removed logging actions from most rules so that it can be controlled from the SecDefaultAction
| |
| − | setting in the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file
| |
| − | * Updated the anomaly scores in the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file to more closely match
| |

| |
| − | the numbers themselves are smaller.
| |
| − | * Updated the 49 and 59 blocking rules to include the matched logdata
| |
| − | * Updated the TAG data to further classify attack/vuln categories.

| |
| − | it matches what is being set in the sql injection conf file
| |
| − | * Fixed typo in SQL Injection regexs - missing backslash for word boundary (b)
| |
| − | https://www.modsecurity.org/tracker/browse/CORERULES-62

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Improvements:
| |
| − | * Removed previous 10 config files as they may conflict with local customized Mod configs.
| |
| − | * Added a new 10 config file that allows the user to globally set TX variables to turn on/off
| |
| − | PARANOID_MODE inspection, set anomaly score levels and http policies.
| |
| − | Must have ModSecurity 2.5.12 to use the macro expansion in numeric operators.
| |
| − | * Added Rule Logic and Reference links to rules descriptions.
| |
| − | * Added Rule IDs to all rules.
| |
| − | * Added tag data mapping to new OWASP Top 10 and AppSensor Projects, WASC Threat Classification

| − | variables to the PARANOID list (REQUEST_URI|REQUEST_BODY|REQUEST_HEADERS|TX:HPP_DATA)
| |
| − | * Moved converted ET Snort rules to the /optional_rules directory
| |
| − | * Created a new Header Tagging ruleset (optional_rules) that will add matched rule data to the

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 2.0.4 - 11/30/2009 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Improvements:
| |
| − | * Updated converted PHPIDS signatures (https://svn.php-ids.org/svn/trunk/lib/IDS/default_filter.xml)
| |
| − | * Updated PHPIDS rules logic to first search for payloads in ARGS and then if there is no match found
| |
| − | then search more generically in request_body|request_uri_raw
| |
| − | * Updated PHPIDS rules logic to only set TX variables and to not log. This allows for more clean
| |
| − | exceptions in the 48 file which can then expire/delete false positive TX matches and adjust the
| |
| − | anomaly scores. These rules will then inspect for any TX variables in phase:5 and create appropriate
| |
| − | alerts for any variable matches that exist.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bug Fixes:
| |
| − | * Added Anomaly Score check to the 60 correlation file to recheck the anomaly score at the end of
| |
| − | phase:4 which would allow for blocking based on information leakage issues.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 2.0.3 - 11/05/2009 ==

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 2.0.0 - 07/29/2009 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Rules & Features:
| |
| − | * Fine Grained Policy
| |
| − | The rules have been split to having one signature per rule instead of having
| |
| − | all signatures combined into one optimized regular expression.
| |
| − | This should allow you to modify/disable events based on specific patterns
| |
| − | instead of having to deal with the whole rule.
| |
| − | * Converted Snort Rules
| |
| − | Emerging Threat web attack rules have been converted.
| |
| − | http://www.emergingthreats.net/
| |
| − | * Anomaly Scoring Mode Option
| |
| − | The rules have been updated to include anomaly scoring variables which allow
| |
| − | you to evaluate the score at the end of phase:2 and phase:5 and decide on what
| |
| − | logging and disruptive actions to take based on the score.
| |
| − | * Correlated Events
| |
| − | There are rules in phase:5 that will provide some correlation between inbound
| |
| − | events and outbound events and will provide a result of successful atttack or
| |
| − | attempted attack.
| |
| − | * Updated Severity Ratings
| |
| − | The severity ratings in the rules have been updated to the following:
| |
| − | - 0: Emergency - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and
| |
| − | an outbound leakage.
| |
| − | - 1: Alert - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and an
| |
| − | outbound application level error.
| |
| − | - 2: Critical - is the highest severity level possible without correlation. It is
| |
| − | normally generated by the web attack rules (40 level files).
| |
| − | - 3: Error - is generated mostly from outbound leakabe rules (50 level files).
| |
| − | - 4: Warning - is generated by malicious client rules (35 level files).
| |
| − | - 5: Notice - is generated by the Protocol policy and anomaly files.
| |
| − | - 6: Info - is generated by the search engine clients (55 marketing file).
| |
| − | * Updated Comment SPAM Protections
| |
| − | Updated rules to include RBL lookups and client fingerprinting concepts from
| |
| − | Bad Behavior (www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us)
| |
| − | * Creation of Global Collection
| |
| − | Automatically create a Global collection in the *10* config file. Other rules
| |
| − | can then access it.
| |
| − | * Use of Block Action
| |
| − | Updated the rules to use the "block" action. This allows the Admin to globally
| |
| − | set the desired block action once with SecDefaultAction in the *10* config file
| |
| − | rather than having to edit the disruptive actions in all of the rules or for
| |
| − | the need to have multiple versions of the rules (blocking vs. non-blocking).
| |
| − | * "Possible HTTP Parameter Pollution Attack: Multiple Parameters with the same Name."
| |
| − | http://tacticalwebappsec.blogspot.com/2009/05/http-parameter-pollution.html
| |
| − | * Added new generic RFI detection rules.
| |
| − | http://tacticalwebappsec.blogspot.com/2009/06/generic-remote-file-inclusion-attack.html
| |
| − | * "Possibly malicious iframe tag in output" (Rules 981001,981002)
| |
| − | Planting invisible iframes in a site can be used by attackers to point users
| |
| − | from the victim site to their malicious site. This is actually as if the
| |
| − | user was visiting the attacker's site himself, causing the user's browser to
| |
| − | process the content in the attacker's site.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * Rule 960019 - Expect Header Not Allowed.
| |
| − | * Rule 960020 - Pragma Header Requires Cache-Control Header
| |
| − | * Rule 958290 - Invalid Character in Request - Browsers should not send the (#) character
| |
| − | as it is reserved for use as a fragment identifier within the html page.
| |
| − | * Rule 958291 - Range: field exists and begins with 0.
| |
| − | * Rule 958292 - Invalid Request Header Found.
| |
| − | * Rule 958293 - Lowercase Via Request Header Found.
| |
| − | * Rule 958294 - Common SPAM Proxies found in Via Request Header.
| |
| − | * Rule 958295 - Multiple/Conflicting Connection Header Data Found.
| |
| − | * Rule 958296 - Request Indicates a SPAM client accessed the Site.
| |
| − | * Rule 958297 - Common SPAM/Email Harvester crawler.
| |
| − | * Rule 958298 - Common SPAM/Email Harvester crawler
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bug Fixes:
| |
| − | * Rule 950107 - Split the rule into 2 separate rules to factor in the
| |
| − | Content-Type when inspecting the REQUEST_BODY variable.
| |
| − | * Rule 960017 - Bug fix for when having port in the host header.
| |
| − | * Rule 960014 - Bug fix to correlate the SERVER_NAME variable.
| |
| − | * Rule 950801 - Increased the logic so that the rule will only run if the web site
| |
| − | uses UTF-8 Encoding.
| |
| − | * Rules 999210,999211 - Bug fix to move ctl actions to last rule, add OPTIONS and
| |
| − | allow the IPv6 loopback address
| |
| − | * Rule 950117 - Updated the RFI logic to factor in both a trailing "?" in the ARG
| |
| − | and to identify offsite hosts by comparing the ARG URI to the Host
| |
| − | header. Due to this rule now being stronger, moved it from optional
| |
| − | tight security rule to *40* generic attacks file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Other Fixes:
| |
| − | * Added more HTTP Protocol violations to *20* file.
| |
| − | * Set the SecDefaultAction in the *10* config file to log/pass (This was the
| |
| − | default setting, however this sets it explicitly.
| |
| − | * Added SecResponseBodyLimitAction ProcessPartial to the *10* config file. This
| |
| − | was added so that when running the SecRuleEngine in DetectionOnly mode, it will
| |
| − | not deny response bodies that go over the size restrictions.
| |
| − | * Changed SecServerSignature to "Apache/1.3.28"
| |
| − | * Fixed the use of SkipAfter and SecMarkers to make it consistent. Now have
| |
| − | BEGIN and END SecMarkers for rule groups to more accurately allow moving to
| |
| − | proper locations.
| |
| − | * Fixed the @pm/@pmFromFile pre-qualifier logic to allow for operator inversion.
| |
| − | This removes the need for some SecAction/SkipAfter rules.
| |
| − | * Updated rule formatting to easily show rule containers (SecMarkers, pre-qualifier
| |
| − | rules and chained rules).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.6.1 - 2008/04/22 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * Fixed a bug where phases and transformations where not specified explicitly
| |
| − | in rules. The issue affected a significant number of rules, and we strongly
| |
| − | recommend to upgrade.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.6.0 - 2008/02/19 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Rulesets & Features:
| |
| − | * 42 - Tight Security
| |
| − | This ruleset contains currently 2 rules which are considered highly prone
| |
| − | to FPs. They take care of Path Traversal attacks, and RFI attacks. This
| |
| − | ruleset is included in the optional_rulesets dir
| |
| − | * 42 - Comment Spam
| |
| − | Comment Spam is used by the spammers to increase their rating in search
| |
| − | engines by posting links to their site in other sites that allow posting
| |
| − | of comments and messages. The rules in this ruleset will work against that.
| |
| − | (Requires ModSecurity 2.5)
| |
| − | * Tags
| |
| − | A single type of attack is often detected by multiple rules. The new alert
| |
| − | classification tags solve this issue by providing an alternative alert type
| |
| − | indication and can serve for filtering and analysis of audit logs.
| |
| − | The classification tags are hierarchical with slashes separating levels.
| |
| − | Usually there are two levels with the top level describing the alert group
| |
| − | and the lower level denoting the alert type itself, for example:
| |
| − | WEB_ATTACK/SQL_INJECTION.
| |
| − | | |
| − | False Positives Fixes:
| |
| − | * Rule 960903 - Moved to phase 4 instead of 5 to avoid FPs
| |
| − | * Rule 950107 - Will look for invalid url decoding in variables that are not
| |
| − | automatically url decoded
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional rules logic:
| |
| − | * Using the new "logdata" action for logging the matched signature in rules
| |
| − | * When logging an event once, init the collection only if the alert needs to log
| |
| − | * Using the new operator @pm as a qualifier before large rules to enhance
| |
| − | performance (Requires ModSecurity 2.5)
| |
| − | * SQL injection - A smarter regexp is used to detect 1=1,2=2,etc.. and not
| |
| − | only 1=1. (Thanks to Marc Stern for the idea)
| |
| − | * New XSS signatures - iframe & flash XSS
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.5.1 - 2007/12/6 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | False Positives Fixes:
| |
| − | * Protocol Anomalies (file 21) - exception for Apache SSL pinger (Request: GET /)
| |
| − | | |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * 960019 - Detect HTTP/0.9 Requests
| |
| − | HTTP/0.9 request are not common these days. This rule will log by default,
| |
| − | and block in the blocking version of file 21
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Other Fixes:
| |
| − | * File 40, Rules 950004,950005 - Repaired the correction for the double
| |
| − | url decoding problem
| |
| − | * File 55 contained empty regular expressions. Fixed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.5 - 2007/11/23 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Rulesets:
| |
| − | * 23 - Request Limits
| |
| − | "Judging by appearances". This rulesets contains rules blocking based on
| |
| − | the size of the request, for example, a request with too many arguments
| |
| − | will be denied.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Default policy changes:
| |
| − | * XML protection off by default
| |
| − | * BLOCKING dir renamed to optional_rules
| |
| − | * Ruleset 55 (marketing) is now optional (added to the optional_rules dir)
| |
| − | * Ruleset 21 - The exception for apache internal monitor will not log anymore
| |
| − | | |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * 960912 - Invalid request body
| |
| − | Malformed content will not be parsed by modsecurity, but still there might
| |
| − | be applications that will parse it, ignoring the errors.
| |
| − | * 960913 - Invalid Request
| |
| − | Will trigger a security event when request was rejected by apache with
| |
| − | code 400, without going through ModSecurity rules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional rules logic:
| |
| − | * 950001 - New signature: delete from
| |
| − | * 950007 - New signature: waitfor delay
| |
| − | | |
| − | False Positives Fixes:
| |
| − | * 950006 - Will not be looking for /cc pattern in User-Agent header
| |
| − | * 950002 - "Internet Explorer" signature removed
| |
| − | * Double decoding bug used to cause FPs. Some of the parameters are already
| |
| − | url-decoded by apache. This caused FPs when the rule performed another
| |
| − | url-decoding transformation. The rules have been split so that parameters
| |
| − | already decoded by apache will not be decoded by the rules anymore.
| |
| − | * 960911 - Expression is much more permissive now
| |
| − | * 950801 - Commented out entirely. NOTE: If your system uses UTF8 encoding,
| |
| − | then you should uncomment this rule (in file 20)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | version 1.4.3 - 2007/07/21
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * 950012 - HTTP Request Smuggling
| |
| − | For more info on this attack:
| |
| − | http://www.cgisecurity.com/lib/HTTP-Request-Smuggling.pdf
| |
| − | * 960912 - Invalid request body
| |
| − | Malformed content will not be parsed by modsecurity, but still there might
| |
| − | be applications that will parse it, ignoring the errors.
| |
| − | * 960913 - Invalid Request
| |
| − | Will trigger a security event when request was rejected by apache with
| |
| − | code 400, without going through ModSecurity rules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | False Positives Fixes:
| |
| − | * 950107 - Will allow a % sign in the middle of a string as well
| |
| − | * 960911 - A more accurate expression based on the rfc:
| |
| − | http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt
| |
| − | * 950015 - Will not look for http/ pattern in the request headers
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional rules logic:
| |
| − | * Since Apache applies scope directives only after ModSecurity phase 1
| |
| − | this directives cannot be used to exclude phase 1 rules. Therefore
| |
| − | we moved all inspection rules to phase 2.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | version 1.4 build 2 - 2007/05/17
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Feature:
| |
| − | * Search for signatures in XML content
| |
| − | XML Content will be parsed and ispected for signatures
| |
| − | | |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * 950116 - Unicode Full/Half Width Abuse Attack Attempt
| |
| − | Full-width unicode can by used to bypass content inspection. Such encoding will be forbidden
| |
| − | http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/739224
| |
| − | * 960911 - Invalid HTTP request line
| |
| − | Enforce request line to be valid, i.e.: <METHOD> <path> <HTTP version>
| |
| − | * 960904 - Request Missing Content-Type (when there is content)
| |
| − | When a request contains content, the content-type must be specified. If not, the content will not be inspected
| |
| − | * 970018 - IIS installed in default location (any drive)
| |
| − | Log once if IIS in installed in the /Inetpub directory (on any drive, not only C)
| |
| − | * 950019 - Email Injection
| |
| − | Web forms used for sending mail (such as "tell a friend") are often manipulated by spammers for sending anonymous emails
| |
| − | | |
| − | Regular expressions fixes:
| |
| − | * Further optimization of some regular expressions (using the non-greediness operator)
| |
| − | The non-greediness operator, <?>, prevents excessive backtracking
| |
| − | | |
| − | FP fixes:
| |
| − | * Rule 950107 - Will allow a parameter to end in a % sign from now on
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | version 1.4 - 2007/05/02
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | New Events:
| |
| − | * 970021 - WebLogic information disclosure
| |
| − | Matching of "<title>JSP compile error</title>" in the response body, will trigger this rule, with severity 4 (Warning)
| |
| − | * 950015,950910,950911 - HTTP Response Splitting
| |
| − | Looking for HTTP Response Splitting patterns as described in Amit Klein's excellent white paper:
| |
| − | http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/papers/general/whitepaper_httpresponse.pdf
| |
| − | ModSecurity does not support compressed content at the moment. Thus, the following rules have been added:
| |
| − | * 960902 - Content-Encoding in request not supported
| |
| − | Any incoming compressed request will be denied
| |
| − | * 960903 - Content-Encoding in response not suppoted
| |
| − | An outgoing compressed response will be logged to alert, but ONLY ONCE.
| |
| − | | |
| − | False Positives Fixes:
| |
| − | * Removed <.exe>,<.shtml> from restricted extensions
| |
| − | * Will not be looking for SQL Injection signatures <root@>,<coalesce> in the Via request header
| |
| − | * Excluded Referer header from SQL injection, XSS and command injection rules
| |
| − | * Excluded X-OS-Prefs header from command injection rule
| |
| − | * Will be looking for command injection signatures in
| |
| − | REQUEST_COOKIES|REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES instead of REQUEST_HEADERS:Cookie.
| |
| − | * Allowing charset specification in the <application/x-www-form-urlencoded> Content-Type
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional rules logic:
| |
| − | * Corrected match of OPTIONS method in event 960015
| |
| − | * Changed location for event 960014 (proxy access) to REQUEST_URI_RAW
| |
| − | * Moved all rules apart from method inspection from phase 1 to phase 2 -
| |
| − | This will enable viewing content if such a rule triggers as well as setting
| |
| − | exceptions using Apache scope tags.
| |
| − | * Added match for double quote in addition to single quote for <or x=x> signature (SQL Injection)
| |
| − | * Added 1=1 signature (SQL Injection)
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | version 1.3.2 build 4 2007/01/17
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Fixed apache 2.4 dummy requests exclusion
| |
| − | Added persistent PDF UXSS detection rule
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.3.2 build 3 2007/01/10 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Fixed regular expression in rule 960010 (file #30) to allow multipart form data
| |
| − | content
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == Version 1.3.2 - 2006/12/27 ==

| |
| − | * 960038 HTTP header is restricted by policy
| |
| − | | |
| − | Regular expressions fixes:
| |
| − | * Regular expressions with @ at end of beginning (for example "@import)
| |
| − | * Regular expressions with un-escaped "."
| |
| − | * Command Injections now always require certain characters both before and after the command. Important since many are common English words (finger, mail)
| |
| − | * The command injection wget is not searched in the UA header as it has different meaning there.
| |
| − | * LDAP Fixed to reduce FPs:
| |
| − | + More accurate regular expressions
| |
| − | + high bit characters not accpeted between signature tokens.
| |
| − | * Do not detect <?xml as a PHP tag in both PHP injection and PHP source leakage
| |
| − | * Removed Java from automation UA
| |
| − | * When validating encoding, added regexp based chained rule that accepts both %xx and %uxxxxx encoding bypassing a limitation of "@validateUrlEncoding"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additional rules logic:
| |
| − | * Checks for empty headers in addition to missing ones (Host, Accept and User-Agent)
| |
| − | * OPTIONS method does not require an accept header.
| |
| − | * Apache keep alive request exception.
| |
| − | * PROPFIND and OPTIONS can be used without content-encoding (like HEAD and GET)
| |
| − | * Validate byte range checks by default only that no NULL char exists.
| |
| − | * Added CSS to allowed extensions in strict rule sets.
| |
| − | * Changed default action in file #50 to pass instead of deny.
| |
| − | * Moved IP host header from protocol violations to protocol anomalies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Modified descriptions:
| |
| − | * 950107: URL Encoding Abuse Attack Attempt
| |
| − | * 950801: UTF8 Encoding Abuse Attack Attempt
| |
| − | * Added matched pattern in many events using capture and %{TX.0}
| |
| − | * Added ctl:auditLogParts=+E for outbound events and attacks to collect response.

| − | == Version 1.2 - 2006/11/19 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Changes:
| |
| − | + Move all events to the range of events allocated to Thinking Stone, now Breach
| |
| − | by prefixing all event IDs with "9".
| |
| − | + Reverse severities to follow the Syslog format used by ModSecurity, now 1 is
| |
| − | the highest and 5 the lowest.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bug fixes:
| |
| − | + Removed quotes from list of mime types inspected on exit (directive
| |
| − | SecResponseBodyMimeType)
| |
| − | + Corrected "cd .." signature. Now the periods are escaped.
| |
| − | + Too many FPs with events 950903 & 950905. Commented them out until fixed.

| |
| − | # '''Add New Detection Logic'''
| |
| − | ## Fraud Detection (Session Hijacking/CSRF/Banking Trojans)
| |
| − | ## User Profiling (GeoIP/Browser Fingerprinting)
| |
| − | ## HoneyTraps
| |
| − | # '''Increase Rule Accuracy'''
| |
| − | ## Reduce False Positives - many users complain about the number of false positives and the negative impacts (breaking functionality) when in blocking mode
| |
| − | ## Reduce False Negatives - we need to constantly improve detection so that we don't miss attacks (http://blog.spiderlabs.com/2011/07/modsecurity-sql-injection-challenge-lessons-learned.html)
| |
| − | # '''Increase Performance/Reduce Latency'''
| |
| − | ## Utilize set-based pattern matching (@pm/@pmf) for pre-qualification of regular expression checks
| |
| − | ## Optimize individual @rx SecRules into less optimized versions
| |
| − | ## Review all regular expression rules for performance (non-capturing/greediness).
| |
| − | # '''Improve Rule Management'''
| |
| − | ## Make it easier for user to enable/disable the desired rules for their platform
| |
| − | ## Update rule formatting for easier readability
| |
| − | ## Reorder/Regroup rule into new file names
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Detection Logic/Flow Concepts ==
| |
| − | This section outlines the processing flow and associated points of detection and actions taken.
| |
| − | # '''IP Reputation'''
| |
| − | ## Data inspected: REMOTE_ADDR
| |
| − | ## Use @rbl to check against remote RBLs
| |
| − | ## Use @pmf to check a local file if bad IPs
| |
| − | ## Use GeoIP Data to assign fraud scores
| |
| − | ## '''Actions'''
| |
| − | ### Deny
| |
| − | ### Increase TX anomaly score
| |
| − | ### Tag client as "suspicious" in IP collection
| |
| − | # '''Request Method Analysis'''
| |
| − | ## Data inspected: REQUEST_METHOD
| |
| − | ## Compare the REQUEST_METHOD specified against:
| |
| − | ### Allowed global methods set by the admin in the modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf file
| |
| − | ### Request methods allowed per-resource (GET vs. POST)
| |
| − | ## '''Actions'''
| |
| − | ### Deny
| |
| − | ### Increase TX anomaly score
| |
| − | ### Tag client as "suspicious" in IP collection
| |
| − | # '''Request Header Analysis'''
| |
| − | ## Data inspected: REQUESTE_HEADERS
| |
| − | ## Check for existence of malicious headers (User-Agent of scanners, etc..)
| |
| − | ## Check for the absence of required headers (Host, User-Agent, Accept)
| |
| − | ## Request Header Ordering Anomalies detects non-browsers/bots
| |
| − | ## '''Actions'''
| |
| − | ### Deny
| |
| − | ### Increase TX anomaly score
| |
| − | ### Tag client as "suspicious" in IP collection
