check / check (push) Waiting to run
The Core Rule Set, run by Coraza, on each request's method, URL and headers (closes #25)
Coraza v3.8.1 runs the Core Rule Set 4.25.0 (coraza-coreruleset v4.25.0)
after the rule files, with the six changes and the default
SWWAF_WAF_DISABLED_RULES that SPEC.md gives; no body, no response.
SWWAF_WAF_MODE, SWWAF_WAF_PARANOIA_LEVEL, SWWAF_WAF_ANOMALY_THRESHOLD and
SWWAF_WAF_EXEMPT_PATHS as specified; SWWAF_WAF_DISABLED_RULES refuses
900000 to 900999, smallwebwaf's own rules among them. A request with more
query parameters than Coraza reads, 1000, adds 5 (rule 900300). In block
mode a match is refused with 403, an offence counted toward the error
burst; in detect mode it is let through. Both log waf_rule_ids, waf_score
and duration_waf, raise waf_block, and count
smallwebwaf_waf_matches_total.

Judgement call: waf_block is raised in block mode too.
Deviation: no engine-error path; with no body read, Coraza cannot fail.

Model: opus-5-5
