Analyzing F5 OWASP rule matches

tboemker

I am seeing lots of requests that match the following rules:
rule_XSS_script_tag__Parameter__AllQueryArguments_Body
rule_div_tag__behavior__Parameter__AllQueryArguments_Body
rule_chmod_execution_attempt__Parameter__AllQueryArguments_Body
rule_SQL_INJ_end_quote_UNION__Parameter__AllQueryArguments_Body

How can I determine why the requests are matching?

Do you have source documentation for what you're referencing? Any details will be helpful, I'll see if I can track this down for you internally.

These rules are part of the F5 OWASP managed rule set. That's all the documentation I have.

URL for the product? Want to make sure we're looking at the same thing. Don't have much exposure to the aws waf f5 rules.

And you've setup the steps on pages 12-15 in the getting started guide: https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/images/F5_OWASP_Getting%20Started%20Guide.pdf?

I'm asking around internally, will let you know what I find.

As much as possible, yes. (The doc appears to have been written for an older version of the WAF Console.) I do not see request bodies in the logs, and Amazon Support said that they don't log request bodies.
