v4.25.1 (LTS)

v4.25.1 - 2026-07-01 Breaking Changes Requires libmodsecurity v3.0.16 or later. The XML attribute injection fix (ctl:ruleRemoveTargetByTag=...;XML://@* in rule 901181) depends on owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity#3589, which fixes the lexer's rejection of @ in ctl:ruleRemoveTarget* actions. On ModSecurity v3 versions older than v3.0.16, this ctl action fails to parse, breaking config load. Fully opting out of XML attribute inspection (tx.crs_xml_attr_inspect) requires ModSecurity v2 >= v2.9.14, once owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity#3591 is fixed upstream. Until then, ctl:ruleRemoveTargetByTag cannot remove the XML://@* target on ModSecurity v2, so rule 901181 cannot disable attribute inspection on that engine. Security Fixes Backport fix for 4RI-250413 via hardening of JSON-encoded key/variable-assignment noise handling across LDAP injection, RCE, generic attack, and SQL injection detection rules (Esad Cetiner, cherry-pick of #4672) Backport ReDoS hardening fix removing exponential backtracking in the PHP function-call comment/whitespace suffix (rules 933160, 933161) (Felipe Zipitría, cherry-pick of #4666) Backport ReDoS hardening fix removing exponential backtracking in the PHP variable-function noise suffix (rule 933180) (Felipe Zipitría, cherry-pick of #4669) Backport ReDoS hardening fix removing exponential backtracking in CSS url(javascript:...) detection (rule 941140) (Felipe Zipitría, cherry-pick of #4670) Bug Fixes Backport false positive fix for payloads with commas but no whitespace in SQL comment detection (rule 942200) (Esad Cetiner, cherry-pick of #4608) Backport false positive fix excluding the pg command from PL1 Unix command detection (Esad Cetiner, cherry-pick of #4613) Backport false positive fix for parameter names containing .history (rule 930120) (Esad Cetiner, cherry-pick of #4614) Backport fix dropping HTTP/0.9 GET support from request line validation for RFC 9110 compliance (rule 920100) (Felipe Zipitría, cherry-pick of #4621) Backport fix so rules 920240 and 920400 use REQBODY_PROCESSOR instead of relying solely on the Content-Type header (Esad Cetiner, cherry-pick of #4639) Other Changes Add default SecDefaultAction for phases 3-5 in crs-setup.conf.example for consistent logging behavior across engines (Prateek Saini, cherry-pick of #4675) Full Changelog: v4.25.0...v4.25.1
