owasp-modsecurity / ModSecurity

ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. It has a robust event-based programming language which provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring, logging and real-time analysis.

SecAuditLogFormat set to JSON prints logs in native format aswell #3100

Describe the bug

Unable to get json logs for Modsecurity in K8s ingress-nginx even after setting SecAuditLogFormat: JSON.

I am setting SecAuditLogFormat: JSON and I want that the logs should be printed in json format only in ingress controller pod. Is it possible to remove/disable the logs in non json format from modsecurity if SecAuditLogFormat: JSON.

Logs and dumps

Current behaviour - If you see in below logs, line number 1 & 2 are not in json format and we do not need these type of logs if SecAuditLogFormat: JSON .

Hi,

Did anyone face similar issue or I'm missing out something in the config.

dune73 commented 2 months ago

This is really quite odd.

Can you pull out the ModSecurity configuration out of the container to share? This might help with reproducing.

# Did we see anything that might be a boundary?
#
# Here is a short description about the ModSecurity Multipart parser: the
# parser returns with value 0, if all "boundary-like" line matches with
# the boundary string which given in MIME header. In any other cases it returns
# with different value, eg. 1 or 2.
#
# The RFC 1341 descript the multipart content-type and its syntax must contains
# only three mandatory lines (above the content):
# * Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=BOUNDARY_STRING
# * --BOUNDARY_STRING
# * --BOUNDARY_STRING--
#
# First line indicates, that this is a multipart content, second shows that
# here starts a part of the multipart content, third shows the end of content.
#
# If there are any other lines, which starts with "--", then it should be
# another boundary id - or not.
#
# After 3.0.3, there are two kinds of types of boundary errors: strict and permissive.
#
# If multipart content contains the three necessary lines with correct order, but
# there are one or more lines with "--", then parser returns with value 2 (non-zero).
#
# If some of the necessary lines (usually the start or end) misses, or the order
# is wrong, then parser returns with value 1 (also a non-zero).
#
# You can choose, which one is what you need. The example below contains the
# 'strict' mode, which means if there are any lines with start of "--", then
# ModSecurity blocked the content. But the next, commented example contains
# the 'permissive' mode, then you check only if the necessary lines exists in
# correct order. Whit this, you can enable to upload PEM files (eg "----BEGIN.."),
# or other text files, which contains eg. HTTP headers.
#
# The difference is only the operator - in strict mode (first) the content blocked
# in case of any non-zero value. In permissive mode (second, commented) the
# content blocked only if the value is explicit 1. If it 0 or 2, the content will
# allowed.

Still think this is very odd. But the config files you are sharing do shed some light.

I have zero experience with the nginx docker container. Above I see a certain duplication of the ModSecurity setup. If I extrapolate, this might result in double engine configuration, thus 2 ModSecs running on a request somehow. One with JSON logging, one with non-JSON logging. This is a shot in the dark, but my best guess as of this writing.

I do not have the time to recreate your setup. But here is my proposal for remediation:

I do not have the time to recreate your setup. But here is my proposal for remediation:

  • Start over from scratch with a fresh container (in a lab setup maybe)
  • Make sure the logging is correct
  • Then add features step by step. Also the custom rules you did. That enabling of the SecRule engine in a ModSec rule is strange. If there was no engine, the rule would not run, so no need to enable the engine.
  • If the problem pops up with the vanilla container, then please open an issue against the container.

Sure thanks @dune73 , for having a look at it.

Just to confirm when you say enabling of the SecRule engine in a ModSec rule is strange. If there was no engine, the rule would not run, so no need to enable the engine.

Do you mean ctl:ruleEngine=On in Secrule ? like below.

SecRule FULL_REQUEST "@rx .*[Cc]lass\..*" "id:1,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:spring4shell Class detected,ctl:ruleEngine=On"

Yes, exactly.
