Nimbostratusf5 AWS WAF CVE coverage
We are looking into blocking three very specific CVE's. I would like to know if they are covered by the f5 managed AWS WAF rules. I do however not wish to specific which in a public forum. Is there somewhere I can ask about coverage of specific CVE's?

Most of the ASM signatures cover a class (or type) of vulnerability, and are not specifically targeted at a CVE.
For example, many Command Injection vulnerabilities are blocked by ASM because there are signatures for the commands that would be included in an attack ("bash", "cmd.exe" etc).
Newly discovered CVE's that are blocked by existing signatures (i.e Zero Day protection) will not be recorded in any way.Sometimes ASM rules are created for a specific CVE, and this will be listed in the Signature notes.
For a specific CVE, determine if it falls into one the common classes of vulnerabilities such as Command Injection - in which case it should be covered by the F5 Rules for AWS WAF - Web exploits OWASP Rules.
Otherwise (for a framework-specific CVE) it may be covered by F5 Rules for AWS WAF - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)For more specific queries, you can approach AWS Support as detailed in
