Describe the bug
Sanitization of passwords does not seem to work. Password is recorded in audit log when caught by owasp CRS 3.2 libinjection rule.
Libinjection CRS rule has an output format that outputs the VAR name and values, and mod_sec module does not sanitize it, please see this log output. The rule can be triggered by putting in a character sequence of !@# within the password. How do we prevent showing these values within the H section:
configuration We have following config as an example
SecAction "nolog,auditlog,phase:2,id:131,sanitiseArg:password" SecRule ARGS "password" "phase:1,log,deny,id:119,t:removeNulls,t:lowercase,multiMatch" SecRule REQUEST_URI "@beginswith /apply/" "phase:5,nolog,auditlog,id:10004,ctl:ruleRemoveTargetById=942100;ARGS:password"
Logs and dumps
