[Collection] mod_security Whitelists

[sageman]

Here are some more that helped me today:

Joomla 2.5.x - Akeeba Backup (after installation)

Reason
PHP source code leakage

Rule
SecRuleRemoveById 970015

------------------------------------------------

Joomla 2.5.x - JCE Editor (saving configuration)

Reason
Too many arguments in request

Rule
SecRuleRemoveById 960335

------------------------------------------------

Menalto Gallery 3 - Uploader stops processing images

Reason
Request Missing an Accept Header

Rule
SecRuleRemoveById 960015

------------------------------------------------

Usage
You should place this rule within the global whitelist

Remoting is not working with mod-security installed

This is due to an "Request Missing an Accept Header" error.

to fix this add the following code to the 000-ispconfig.vhost (at the bottom)

<LocationMatch "/remote/index.php">
  SecRuleRemoveById 960015 
</LocationMatch>

==================

Since I only want to enable rules for the PHP files which need to be excluded I have the following ruleset for WordPress:

<LocationMatch "/">
  SecRuleRemoveById 910006 # Google robot activity - Useful in someways but noisy for sites where you want them crawled
  SecRuleRemoveById 960015 # Request Missing an Accept Header -  Allow for Google Reader
</LocationMatch>

<LocationMatch "/wp-admin/post.php">
  SecRuleRemoveById 950006 # System Command Injection - Another rule that probably doesn't need to be disabled by everyone it stops .exe and various other extensions being passed in arguments.
  SecRuleRemoveById 950004 # Disable XSS 
</LocationMatch>

<LocationMatch "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php">
  SecRuleRemoveById 950004 # Disable XSS 
</LocationMatch>

<LocationMatch "(/wp-admin/|/wp-login.php)">
  SecRuleRemoveById 950005 # Remote File Access Attempt - Probably no need to be disabled by everyone; it allows me putting /etc/ and other linux paths in posts.
  SecRuleRemoveById 950117 # Remote File Inclusion Attack - Disable to allow http:// to be passed in args
</LocationMatch>

<LocationMatch "(/wp-admin/options.php|/wp-admin/theme-editor.php|/wp-content/plugins/)">
