OWASP ModSec CRS Paranoia Mode

Abstract
This is a page about the development of a paranoia mode aka bringing back the rules that used to yield a high number of false positives. This little project is aimed at inclusion into the 3.0.0 release of the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rules, where some rules have been removed in order to reduce the number of false positives with vanilla installations.

FIXME: Detailed description

Back to the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rules Set.

Open Tasks
Please define state as follows: new, assigned, waiting, closed. When a task it is closed, it is moved to the seperate closed tasks table below.

Paranoia Mode Candidates
The 3.0.0-rc1 has all rules renumbered. Existing numbering was fairly crazy and the new numbering follows the numbering scheme of the rules files (-> 9<2-digit-rulefile><3-digit-id>) A mapping table exists [IdNumbering.csv] We need to make sure, we do not mess things up, so let's add both IDs to the table, the old one and the new one.

Please set status as follows : candidate, cloning-candidate, unsure, dropped.
 * 'cloning-candidates' are rules, that could be cloned into an even stricter variant with a stricter limit in a higher paranoia setting.
 * If dropped, please provide reasoning in the remarks.

Rules from 2.2.X, missing in 3.0.0-rc1
It looks as if only the base_rules made it into 3.0.0. In fact there are a few rule ids know from the optional and experimental rule folders in 2.2.X, but it is more likely, these are new 3.0.0 rules reusing old rule ids as the rules (regexes and msg) do not match at all.

When trying to generate the list below, be aware that the rule ids have been renumbered between 3.0.0-dev and 3.0.0-rc1. IdNumbering.csv in your friend.

Stricter siblings for existing rules
Stricter Siblings are rules that are present in the CRS but could be accompanied by a stricter clone in Paranoia Mode. Adjustments can differ from rule to rule but include higher anomaly ratings or stricter triggers (e.g. regex counters). To prevent masses of false positives, rules can come with additional filters (chained rules) for common use-cases. These can either be included into Paranoia Mode or simply serve as a recommendation.

Note: To avoid a cluttered project main-page, rule proposals are documented in their respective sub-page. When adding new proposals, make sure adding the rules original (2.2.x) ID, a quick description of what changes were made, and, if applicable, which additional filters were added.
