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.
