They are written for the open source, cross-platform # ModSecurity Web Application Firewall. # # See also: # https://coreruleset.org/ # https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs # https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_ModSecurity_Core_Rule_Set_Project # # # -- [[ System Requirements ]] ------------------------------------------------- # # CRS requires ModSecurity version 2.8.0 or above. # We recommend to always use the newest ModSecurity version. # # The configuration directives/settings in this file are used to control # the OWASP ModSecurity CRS. These settings do **NOT** configure the main # ModSecurity settings (modsecurity.conf) such as SecRuleEngine, # SecRequestBodyAccess, SecAuditEngine, SecDebugLog, and XML processing. # # The CRS assumes that modsecurity.conf has been loaded. It is bundled with # ModSecurity. If you don't have it, you can get it from: # 2.x: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/v2/master/modsecurity.conf-recommended # 3.x: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/v3/master/modsecurity.conf-recommended # # The order of file inclusion in your webserver configuration should always be: # 1. modsecurity.conf # 2. crs-setup.conf (this file) # 3. rules/*.conf (the CRS rule files) # # Please refer to the INSTALL file for detailed installation instructions. # # # -- [[ Mode of Operation: Anomaly Scoring vs. Self-Contained ]] --------------- # # The CRS can run in two modes: # # -- [[ Anomaly Scoring Mode (default) ]] -- # In CRS3, anomaly mode is the default and recommended mode, since it gives the # most accurate log information and offers the most flexibility in setting your # blocking policies. It is also called "collaborative detection mode". # In this mode, each matching rule increases an 'anomaly score'. # At the conclusion of the inbound rules, and again at the conclusion of the # outbound rules, the anomaly score is checked, and the blocking evaluation # rules apply a disruptive action, by default returning an error 403. # # -- [[ Self-Contained Mode ]] -- # In this mode, rules apply an action instantly. This was the CRS2 default. # It can lower resource usage, at the cost of less flexibility in blocking policy # and less informative audit logs (only the first detected threat is logged). # Rules inherit the disruptive action that you specify (i.e. deny, drop, etc). # The first rule that matches will execute this action. In most cases this will # cause evaluation to stop after the first rule has matched, similar to how many # IDSs function. # # -- [[ Alert Logging Control ]] -- # In the mode configuration, you must also adjust the desired logging options. # There are three common options for dealing with logging. By default CRS enables # logging to the webserver error log (or Event viewer) plus detailed logging to # the ModSecurity audit log (configured under SecAuditLog in modsecurity.conf). # # - To log to both error log and ModSecurity audit log file, use: "log,auditlog" # - To log *only* to the ModSecurity audit log file, use: "nolog,auditlog" # - To log *only* to the error log file, use: "log,noauditlog" # # Examples for the various modes follow. # You must leave one of the following options enabled. # Note that you must specify the same line for phase:1 and phase:2. # # Default: Anomaly Scoring mode, log to error log, log to ModSecurity audit log # - By default, offending requests are blocked with an error 403 response. # - To change the disruptive action, see RESPONSE-999-EXCLUSION-RULES-AFTER-CRS.conf.example # and review section 'Changing the Disruptive Action for Anomaly Mode'. # - In Apache, you can use ErrorDocument to show a friendly error page or # perform a redirect: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/custom-error.html # SecDefaultAction "phase:1,log,auditlog,pass" SecDefaultAction "phase:2,log,auditlog,pass" # Example: Anomaly Scoring mode, log only to ModSecurity audit log # - By default, offending requests are blocked with an error 403 response. # - To change the disruptive action, see RESPONSE-999-EXCLUSION-RULES-AFTER-CRS.conf.example # and review section 'Changing the Disruptive Action for Anomaly Mode'. # - In Apache, you can use ErrorDocument to show a friendly error page or # perform a redirect: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/custom-error.html # # SecDefaultAction "phase:1,nolog,auditlog,pass" # SecDefaultAction "phase:2,nolog,auditlog,pass" # Example: Self-contained mode, return error 403 on blocking # - In this configuration the default disruptive action becomes 'deny'. After a # rule triggers, it will stop processing the request and return an error 403. # - You can also use a different error status, such as 404, 406, et cetera. # - In Apache, you can use ErrorDocument to show a friendly error page or # perform a redirect: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/custom-error.html # # SecDefaultAction "phase:1,log,auditlog,deny,status:403" # SecDefaultAction "phase:2,log,auditlog,deny,status:403" # Example: Self-contained mode, redirect back to homepage on blocking # - In this configuration the 'tag' action includes the Host header data in the # log. This helps to identify which virtual host triggered the rule (if any). # - Note that this might cause redirect loops in some situations; for example # if a Cookie or User-Agent header is blocked, it will also be blocked when # the client subsequently tries to access the homepage. You can also redirect # to another custom URL. # SecDefaultAction "phase:1,log,auditlog,redirect:'http://%{request_headers.host}/',tag:'Host: %{request_headers.host}'" # SecDefaultAction "phase:2,log,auditlog,redirect:'http://%{request_headers.host}/',tag:'Host: %{request_headers.host}'" # # -- [[ Paranoia Level Initialization ]] --------------------------------------- # # The Paranoia Level (PL) setting allows you to choose the desired level # of rule checks that will add to your anomaly scores. # # With each paranoia level increase, the CRS enables additional rules # giving you a higher level of security. However, higher paranoia levels # also increase the possibility of blocking some legitimate traffic due to # false alarms (also named false positives or FPs). If you use higher # paranoia levels, it is likely that you will need to add some exclusion # rules for certain requests and applications receiving complex input. # # - A paranoia level of 1 is default. In this level, most core rules # are enabled. PL1 is advised for beginners, installations # covering many different sites and applications, and for setups # with standard security requirements. # At PL1 you should face FPs rarely. If you encounter FPs, please # open an issue on the CRS GitHub site and don't forget to attach your # complete Audit Log record for the request with the issue. # - Paranoia level 2 includes many extra rules, for instance enabling # many regexp-based SQL and XSS injection protections, and adding # extra keywords checked for code injections. PL2 is advised # for moderate to experienced users desiring more complete coverage # and for installations with elevated security requirements. # PL2 comes with some FPs which you need to handle. # - Paranoia level 3 enables more rules and keyword lists, and tweaks # limits on special characters used. PL3 is aimed at users experienced # at the handling of FPs and at installations with a high security # requirement. # - Paranoia level 4 further restricts special characters. # The highest level is advised for experienced users protecting # installations with very high security requirements. Running PL4 will # likely produce a very high number of FPs which have to be # treated before the site can go productive. # # All rules will log their PL to the audit log; # example: [tag "paranoia-level/2"]. This allows you to deduct from the # audit log how the WAF behavior is affected by paranoia level. # # It is important to also look into the variable # tx.enforce_bodyproc_urlencoded (Enforce Body Processor URLENCODED) # defined below. Enabling it closes a possible bypass of CRS. # # Uncomment this rule to change the default: # #SecAction \ # "id:900000,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.paranoia_level=1" # It is possible to execute rules from a higher paranoia level but not include # them in the anomaly scoring. This allows you to take a well-tuned system on # paranoia level 1 and add rules from paranoia level 2 without having to fear # the new rules would lead to false positives that raise your score above the # threshold. # This optional feature is enabled by uncommenting the following rule and # setting the tx.executing_paranoia_level. # Technically, rules up to the level defined in tx.executing_paranoia_level # will be executed, but only the rules up to tx.paranoia_level affect the # anomaly scores. # By default, tx.executing_paranoia_level is set to tx.paranoia_level. # tx.executing_paranoia_level must not be lower than tx.paranoia_level. # # Please notice that setting tx.executing_paranoia_level to a higher paranoia # level results in a performance impact that is equally high as setting # tx.paranoia_level to said level. # #SecAction \ # "id:900001,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.executing_paranoia_level=1" # # -- [[ Enforce Body Processor URLENCODED ]] ----------------------------------- # # ModSecurity selects the body processor based on the Content-Type request # header. But clients are not always setting the Content-Type header for their # request body payloads. This will leave ModSecurity with limited vision into # the payload. The variable tx.enforce_bodyproc_urlencoded lets you force the # URLENCODED body processor in these situations. This is off by default, as it # implies a change of the behaviour of ModSecurity beyond CRS (the body # processor applies to all rules, not only CRS) and because it may lead to # false positives already on paranoia level 1. However, enabling this variable # closes a possible bypass of CRS so it should be considered. # # Uncomment this rule to change the default: # #SecAction \ # "id:900010,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.enforce_bodyproc_urlencoded=1" # # -- [[ Anomaly Mode Severity Levels ]] ---------------------------------------- # # Each rule in the CRS has an associated severity level. # These are the default scoring points for each severity level. # These settings will be used to increment the anomaly score if a rule matches. # You may adjust these points to your liking, but this is usually not needed. # # - CRITICAL severity: Anomaly Score of 5. # Mostly generated by the application attack rules (93x and 94x files). # - ERROR severity: Anomaly Score of 4. # Generated mostly from outbound leakage rules (95x files). # - WARNING severity: Anomaly Score of 3. # Generated mostly by malicious client rules (91x files). # - NOTICE severity: Anomaly Score of 2. # Generated mostly by the protocol rules (92x files). # # In anomaly mode, these scores are cumulative. # So it's possible for a request to hit multiple rules. # # (Note: In this file, we use 'phase:1' to set CRS configuration variables. # In general, 'phase:request' is used. However, we want to make absolutely sure # that all configuration variables are set before the CRS rules are processed.) # #SecAction \ # "id:900100,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.critical_anomaly_score=5,\ # setvar:tx.error_anomaly_score=4,\ # setvar:tx.warning_anomaly_score=3,\ # setvar:tx.notice_anomaly_score=2" # # -- [[ Anomaly Mode Blocking Threshold Levels ]] ------------------------------ # # Here, you can specify at which cumulative anomaly score an inbound request, # or outbound response, gets blocked. # # Most detected inbound threats will give a critical score of 5. # Smaller violations, like violations of protocol/standards, carry lower scores. # # [ At default value ] # If you keep the blocking thresholds at the defaults, the CRS will work # similarly to previous CRS versions: a single critical rule match will cause # the request to be blocked and logged. # # [ Using higher values ] # If you want to make the CRS less sensitive, you can increase the blocking # thresholds, for instance to 7 (which would require multiple rule matches # before blocking) or 10 (which would require at least two critical alerts - or # a combination of many lesser alerts), or even higher. However, increasing the # thresholds might cause some attacks to bypass the CRS rules or your policies. # # [ New deployment strategy: Starting high and decreasing ] # It is a common practice to start a fresh CRS installation with elevated # anomaly scoring thresholds (>100) and then lower the limits as your # confidence in the setup grows. You may also look into the Sampling # Percentage section below for a different strategy to ease into a new # CRS installation. # # [ Anomaly Threshold / Paranoia Level Quadrant ] # # High Anomaly Limit | High Anomaly Limit # Low Paranoia Level | High Paranoia Level # -> Fresh Site | -> Experimental Site # ------------------------------------------------------ # Low Anomaly Limit | Low Anomaly Limit # Low Paranoia Level | High Paranoia Level # -> Standard Site | -> High Security Site # # Uncomment this rule to change the defaults: # #SecAction \ # "id:900110,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.inbound_anomaly_score_threshold=5,\ # setvar:tx.outbound_anomaly_score_threshold=4" # # -- [[ Application Specific Rule Exclusions ]] ---------------------------------------- # # Some well-known applications may undertake actions that appear to be # malicious. This includes actions such as allowing HTML or Javascript within # parameters. In such cases the CRS aims to prevent false positives by allowing # administrators to enable prebuilt, application specific exclusions on an # application by application basis. # These application specific exclusions are distinct from the rules that would # be placed in the REQUEST-900-EXCLUSION-RULES-BEFORE-CRS configuration file as # they are prebuilt for specific applications. The 'REQUEST-900' file is # designed for users to add their own custom exclusions. Note, using these # application specific exclusions may loosen restrictions of the CRS, # especially if used with an application they weren't designed for. As a result # they should be applied with care. # To use this functionality you must specify a supported application. To do so # uncomment rule 900130. In addition to uncommenting the rule you will need to # specify which application(s) you'd like to enable exclusions for. Only a # (very) limited set of applications are currently supported, please use the # filenames prefixed with 'REQUEST-903' to guide you in your selection. # Such filenames use the following convention: # REQUEST-903.9XXX-{APPNAME}-EXCLUSIONS-RULES.conf # # It is recommended if you run multiple web applications on your site to limit # the effects of the exclusion to only the path where the excluded webapp # resides using a rule similar to the following example: # SecRule REQUEST_URI "@beginsWith /wordpress/" setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_wordpress=1 # # Modify and uncomment this rule to select which application: # #SecAction \ # "id:900130,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_cpanel=1,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_drupal=1,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_dokuwiki=1,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_nextcloud=1,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_wordpress=1,\ # setvar:tx.crs_exclusions_xenforo=1" # # -- [[ HTTP Policy Settings ]] ------------------------------------------------ # # This section defines your policies for the HTTP protocol, such as: # - allowed HTTP versions, HTTP methods, allowed request Content-Types # - forbidden file extensions (e.g. .bak, .sql) and request headers (e.g. Proxy) # # These variables are used in the following rule files: # - REQUEST-911-METHOD-ENFORCEMENT.conf # - REQUEST-912-DOS-PROTECTION.conf # - REQUEST-920-PROTOCOL-ENFORCEMENT.conf # HTTP methods that a client is allowed to use. # Default: GET HEAD POST OPTIONS # Example: for RESTful APIs, add the following methods: PUT PATCH DELETE # Example: for WebDAV, add the following methods: CHECKOUT COPY DELETE LOCK # MERGE MKACTIVITY MKCOL MOVE PROPFIND PROPPATCH PUT UNLOCK # Uncomment this rule to change the default. #SecAction \ # "id:900200,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:'tx.allowed_methods=GET HEAD POST OPTIONS'" # Content-Types that a client is allowed to send in a request. # Default: |application/x-www-form-urlencoded| |multipart/form-data| |multipart/related| # |text/xml| |application/xml| |application/soap+xml| |application/json| # |application/cloudevents+json| |application/cloudevents-batch+json| # # Please note, that the rule where CRS uses this variable (920420) evaluates it with operator # `@within`, which is case sensitive, but uses t:lowercase. You must add your whole custom # Content-Type with lowercase. # # Bypass Warning: some applications may not rely on the content-type request header in order # to parse the request body. This could make an attacker able to send malicious URLENCODED/JSON/XML # payloads without being detected by the WAF. Allowing request content-type that doesn't activate any # body processor (for example: "text/plain", "application/x-amf", "application/octet-stream", etc..) # could lead to a WAF bypass. For example, a malicious JSON payload submitted with a "text/plain" # content type may still be interpreted as JSON by a backend application but would not trigger the # JSON body parser at the WAF, leading to a bypass. # # To prevent blocking request with not allowed content-type by default, you can create an exclusion # rule that removes rule 920420. For example: # SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "@rx ^text/plain" \ # "id:1234,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # ctl:ruleRemoveById=920420,\ # chain" # SecRule REQUEST_URI "@rx ^/foo/bar" "t:none" # # Uncomment this rule to change the default. # #SecAction \ # "id:900220,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:'tx.allowed_request_content_type=|application/x-www-form-urlencoded| |multipart/form-data| |multipart/related| |text/xml| |application/xml| |application/soap+xml| |application/json| |application/cloudevents+json| |application/cloudevents-batch+json|'" # Allowed HTTP versions. # Default: HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 HTTP/2.0 # Example for legacy clients: HTTP/0.9 HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 HTTP/2.0 # Note that some web server versions use 'HTTP/2', some 'HTTP/2.0', so # we include both version strings by default. # Uncomment this rule to change the default. #SecAction \ # "id:900230,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:'tx.allowed_http_versions=HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 HTTP/2.0'" # Forbidden file extensions. # Guards against unintended exposure of development/configuration files. # Default: .asa/ .asax/ .ascx/ .axd/ .backup/ .bak/ .bat/ .cdx/ .cer/ .cfg/ .cmd/ .com/ .config/ .conf/ .cs/ .csproj/ .csr/ .dat/ .db/ .dbf/ .dll/ .dos/ .htr/ .htw/ .ida/ .idc/ .idq/ .inc/ .ini/ .key/ .licx/ .lnk/ .log/ .mdb/ .old/ .pass/ .pdb/ .pol/ .printer/ .pwd/ .rdb/ .resources/ .resx/ .sql/ .swp/ .sys/ .vb/ .vbs/ .vbproj/ .vsdisco/ .webinfo/ .xsd/ .xsx/ # Example: .bak/ .config/ .conf/ .db/ .ini/ .log/ .old/ .pass/ .pdb/ .rdb/ .sql/ # Uncomment this rule to change the default. #SecAction \ # "id:900240,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:'tx.restricted_extensions=.asa/ .asax/ .ascx/ .axd/ .backup/ .bak/ .bat/ .cdx/ .cer/ .cfg/ .cmd/ .com/ .config/ .conf/ .cs/ .csproj/ .csr/ .dat/ .db/ .dbf/ .dll/ .dos/ .htr/ .htw/ .ida/ .idc/ .idq/ .inc/ .ini/ .key/ .licx/ .lnk/ .log/ .mdb/ .old/ .pass/ .pdb/ .pol/ .printer/ .pwd/ .rdb/ .resources/ .resx/ .sql/ .swp/ .sys/ .vb/ .vbs/ .vbproj/ .vsdisco/ .webinfo/ .xsd/ .xsx/'" # Forbidden request headers. # Header names should be lowercase, enclosed by /slashes/ as delimiters. # Default: /accept-charset/ /content-encoding/ /proxy/ /lock-token/ /content-range/ /if/ # # Note: Accept-Charset is a deprecated header that should not be used by clients and # ignored by servers.

Unlike other rules, # which look at the individual request, the blocking of IPs is based on # a persistent record in the IP collection, which remains active for a # certain amount of time. # # There are two ways an individual client can become flagged for blocking: # - External information (RBL, GeoIP, etc.) # - Internal information (Core Rules) # # The record in the IP collection carries a flag, which tags requests from # individual clients with a flag named IP.reput_block_flag. # But the flag alone is not enough to have a client blocked. There is also # a global switch named tx.do_reput_block. This is off by default. If you set # it to 1 (=On), requests from clients with the IP.reput_block_flag will # be blocked for a certain duration. # # Variables # ip.reput_block_flag Blocking flag for the IP collection record # ip.reput_block_reason Reason (= rule message) that caused to blocking flag # tx.do_reput_block Switch deciding if we really block based on flag # tx.reput_block_duration Setting to define the duration of a block # # It may be important to know, that all the other core rules are skipped for # requests, when it is clear that they carry the blocking flag in question. # # Uncomment this rule to use this feature: # #SecAction \ # "id:900960,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.do_reput_block=1" # # Uncomment this rule to change the blocking time: # Default: 300 (5 minutes) # #SecAction \ # "id:900970,\ # phase:1,\ # nolog,\ # pass,\ # t:none,\ # setvar:tx.reput_block_duration=300" # # -- [[ Collection timeout ]] -------------------------------------------------- # # Set the SecCollectionTimeout directive from the ModSecurity default (1 hour) # to a lower setting which is appropriate to most sites. # This increases performance by cleaning out stale collection (block) entries. # # This value should be greater than or equal to: # tx.reput_block_duration (see section "Blocking Based on IP Reputation") and # tx.dos_block_timeout (see section "Anti-Automation / DoS Protection"). # # Ref: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki/Reference-Manual#wiki-SecCollectionTimeout # Please keep this directive uncommented. # Default: 600 (10 minutes) SecCollectionTimeout 600 # # -- [[ End of setup ]] -------------------------------------------------------- # # The CRS checks the tx.crs_setup_version variable to ensure that the setup # has been loaded. If you are not planning to use this setup template, # you must manually set the tx.crs_setup_version variable before including # the CRS rules/* files. # # The variable is a numerical representation of the CRS version number. # E.g., v3.0.0 is represented as 300. # SecAction \ "id:900990,\ phase:1,\ pass,\ t:none,\ nolog,\ setvar:tx.crs_setup_version=335"
