WAF Rule Enhancements - SQL Injection and PostgreSQL Detection
Cloudflare deployed enhanced SQL injection and PostgreSQL attack detection rules across multiple vectors (body, headers, URI) with improved behavioral coverage. Existing managed rules have been refined to provide more resilient protection against broad classes of web attacks.
This week's release focuses on new improvements to enhance coverage.
Key Findings
- Existing rule enhancements have been deployed to improve detection resilience against broad classes of web attacks and strengthen behavioral coverage.
Continuous Rule Improvements
We are continuously refining our managed rules to provide more resilient protection and deeper insights into attack patterns. To ensure an optimal security posture, we recommend consistently monitoring the Security Events dashboard and adjusting rule actions as these enhancements are deployed.
