Rule 942450 (SQL Hex Encoding Identified) too lax?

See original GitHub issue

_Issue originally created by user lifeforms on date 2017-07-06 18:39:09. Link to original issue: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/issues/833._

Rule 942450 (SQL Hex Encoding Identified; PL2) gives FPs in alphanumeric strings that contain the substring 0x. Examples:

N0X5d1

bKjyGu1pGxza4NGsxfqxoSTPA6acPA12pshj0xddfda reported in #832

Could we be a little less annoying and not fire if there is a letter before the 0x substring? This should not diminish detecting actual attacks.

The great thing is that wjwoodson already fixed this in #1662, so this issue can be closed!
