Add /sandbox: try requests against CRS from the browser by fzipi · Pull Request #548 · coreruleset/website

fzipi · 2026-10-20T15:17:59Z

A /sandbox page where visitors send a request to the CRS Sandbox from the browser and see which rules matched, on the engine, CRS version and paranoia level they pick. Linked from the Documentation menu as "Sandbox".

The CORS change it needs on the sandbox (coreruleset/crs-sandbox#160) is live in production, so the preview at https://feat-sandbox-playground.website-1u6.pages.dev/sandbox/ works against the real sandbox.

What is in it

layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html: the playground, same shape as the CRS 3→4 config migrator shortcode (inline markup, styles and script, no build step, no dependencies). Method, path/query, optional body with content type, presets (path traversal, SQLi, XSS, command injection, scanner UA, JSON body, benign), engine and CRS version filled from GET /backends at load (static fallback if that fails), paranoia level, detection-only mode, detection PL, anomaly threshold, extra headers (with a warning for the ones browsers refuse to send). Result: verdict badge (blocked / detected but not blocked / no rules matched / edge error / no answer / browser refused), status, engine and exact CRS tag, anomaly score, table of matched rules with each rule id linked to its CRS rule file, matched data, the x-unique-id for support, the URL the browser actually sent when it normalised the input (dot segments, backslashes, percent-encoding), a copyable curl equivalent of the request, and the raw json-report. Takes an api parameter for a local sandbox ({{< crs-sandbox api="http://localhost:8088" >}}).
content/pages/sandbox.md: intro, the shortcode, the headers table and curl usage, and the caveats (the body is the verdict not the page, what "blocked" means, what browsers rewrite before sending, requests are logged; bug reports go to coreruleset/coreruleset).
static/_headers: connect-src gains https://sandbox.coreruleset.org. Without it the CSP blocks the page's fetch() on Cloudflare Pages.
config/_default/languages.yaml: menu entry under Documentation.

Tested

Built with Hugo extended 0.163.1 (the CI pin) and Dart Sass, no new warnings. The minified build (what Cloudflare Pages deploys) was driven headlessly (jsdom) against a local sandbox: 28 checks covering discovery, a blocked XSS on nginx at PL2 with the rule table and links, detection-only mode, a POST JSON SQLi on apache, a benign request, a scanner user agent via the extra-headers box, the explained 400 for coraza + v3-lts, an edge rejection, browser URL normalisation shown and used in the curl line, the forbidden-header warning, a header the browser refuses, a followed redirect, and an unreachable sandbox. It was also opened in headless Chromium and a request sent to production from it, since jsdom cannot tell whether anything is visible (the first preview had the inline script cut short by a literal </script> in the XSS preset and the result panel hidden by CSS; both fixed).

Driving the page also turned up a sandbox bug: CRS v3 backends answer 500 for any paranoia level above 1 (coreruleset/crs-sandbox#161).

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a Sandbox page with an interactive tool for testing requests against the CRS Sandbox.
- Choose request methods, payloads, headers, and CRS settings; view matched rules and response results, or copy an equivalent curl command.
- Added a Sandbox link under Documentation.

A page where visitors send a request to the CRS Sandbox and see which rules matched, on the engine, CRS version and paranoia level they pick. Built like the CRS 3->4 config migrator: a shortcode with inline markup, styles and script, no build step. The form covers method, path/query, body and content type, presets (path traversal, SQLi, XSS, command injection, scanner UA, JSON body, benign), engine and CRS version discovered from GET /backends, paranoia level, detection-only mode, detection PL, anomaly threshold, application exclusions and extra headers. The result shows the verdict (blocked, detected but not blocked, clean, edge error, no answer), engine and exact CRS tag, anomaly score, the matched rules linked to their rule files, the x-unique-id for support, a copyable curl equivalent and the raw json-report. static/_headers: connect-src gains https://sandbox.coreruleset.org, otherwise the CSP blocks the page's fetch on Cloudflare Pages. Menu entry under Documentation. Needs coreruleset/crs-sandbox#160 (CORS at the edge) deployed: the sandbox currently proxies preflights to the WAF, which blocks any preflight whose URL carries the attack.

Walkthrough

The website adds a CRS Sandbox page with an embedded form. Visitors can configure and submit requests to a sandbox API, then view verdicts and report details. The Content Security Policy permits connections to the sandbox host.

Changes: CRS Sandbox

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sandbox page and form `config/_default/languages.yaml`, `content/pages/sandbox.md`, `layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html`	Adds a Documentation menu entry and a page with usage guidance. The form provides request and CRS configuration controls.
Request configuration and sandbox connection `layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html`, `static/_headers`	Adds backend discovery, request construction, curl generation, and permission for the sandbox host in the Content Security Policy.
Submission and report display `layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html`, `content/pages/sandbox.md`	The form sends requests and displays verdicts, matched-rule details, and distinct error states. The page documents response behavior and browser limitations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested labels: release:new-feature

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d90a1

The new Sandbox page adds a browser playground for sending requests to the CRS Sandbox. No concrete merge-blocking defect remains after review. A HEAD 403 is labeled blocked from status alone, which matches the sandbox's own report.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a new /sandbox page that sends browser requests to the CRS Sandbox. The changeset adds the page, the shortcode, the menu entry, and the CSP update, so the title matches the primary change. It is 9 words and 55 characters, which is short enough to scan in history.

Full details: Regex Assembly Is The Source Of Truth

Explanation

Not applicable. The check triggers only when the diff changes an @rx pattern in rules/*.conf or adds/modifies a file under regex-assembly/. The reviewed range (base to head, PR #548) changes four files: config/_default/languages.yaml (M), content/pages/sandbox.md (A), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (A), and static/_headers (M). None of them match rules/*.conf or regex-assembly/. The repository is the website, not the CRS rule set, so no compiled rule patterns are in scope. Result: not applicable.

Full details: Rule Change Requires Go-Ftw Test Coverage

Explanation

Not applicable. The trigger condition requires the diff to add or modify a SecRule in rules/*.conf or plugins/*.conf, or to change a pattern under regex-assembly/. The changed-file inventory for the reviewed range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head) contains four files, all in the coreruleset/website repository: config/_default/languages.yaml (M), content/pages/sandbox.md (A), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (A), and static/_headers (M). None of these is a rule file, a plugin file, or a regex-assembly source. The go-ftw regression requirement therefore does not apply to this pull request.

Full details: Redos Risk & Re2 Compatibility

Explanation

Not applicable. The check runs only when the diff adds or modifies an @rx pattern in rules/*.conf, a pattern in regex-assembly/*.ra, or a regexp.MustCompile / Python re.compile call in tooling code. Evidence from the PR range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head): - The changed files are config/_default/languages.yaml, content/pages/sandbox.md, layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html, and static/_headers. - No file under rules/, no regex-assembly/*.ra file, and no .go or .py file is touched. - Added lines contain only JavaScript regex literals in the Hugo shortcode. These appear in crs-sandbox.html at replace(/\/+$/, ''), replace(/[&<>"']/g, ...), /^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS)$/.test(method), replace(/^Matched Data:\s*/, ''), and /failed to fetch|fetch failed|networkerror|load failed|network/i.test(...). None of these is a trigger type. They are client-side website code, not CRS patterns or tooling re.compile / regexp.MustCompile calls. Because the trigger is not met, the RE2 and ReDoS criteria are not evaluated. The PR does not add any CRS detection regex.

Full details: False Positive Risk & Existing Coverage

Explanation

Not applicable. The check runs only when the diff adds a detection pattern, widens one, or adds a rule under rules/*.conf, plugins/*.conf, or regex-assembly/. The changed-file inventory for base..head has four files, none in those paths: - config/_default/languages.yaml (modified): adds a Documentation menu entry. - content/pages/sandbox.md (added): documentation page. - layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (added): browser playground shortcode. - static/_headers (modified): adds https://sandbox.coreruleset.org to connect-src. This is the coreruleset/website repository. It contains no CRS detection patterns. The PR does not add or widen any detection logic, so the false-positive and existing-coverage criteria do not apply.

Full details: Crs Rule Metadata & Id Conventions

Explanation

Check not applicable. The trigger requires the diff to add or modify a SecRule in rules/*.conf, plugins/*.conf, or crs-setup.conf.example. The pull request's changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status over the review range) lists only four files: config/_default/languages.yaml (M), content/pages/sandbox.md (A), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (A), and static/_headers (M). None of these is a CRS rule or setup file. A search of the added lines for SecRule returned no matches. The PR is a Hugo website change in coreruleset/website, so no rule ID, tag, ver:, paranoia-level, capec, logdata, msg, severity, or ordering invariant applies.

Full details: Rule & Config Breaking Changes

Explanation

The check does not apply to this pull request. The committed diff (base to head) changes four files in coreruleset/website only: config/_default/languages.yaml (menu entry), content/pages/sandbox.md (new page), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (new shortcode), and static/_headers (CSP connect-src addition). None of these is a CRS rule file, crs-setup.conf.example, a *.data file, a tag: or msg value, a paranoia-level assignment, or a Go/Python tooling API. The PR therefore does not remove or renumber a rule ID, change a default, alter tags or messages, move a paranoia level, change data files, or change a tooling API. The website changes do not alter CRS deployment behaviour, so no "Breaking changes" section or CHANGES.md entry is required by the check's criteria.

Full details: Owasp Security (Web, Api & Llm)

Explanation

PR #548 (coreruleset/website, author fzipi) adds a client-side /sandbox page: a Hugo shortcode (layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html, 500 lines), a docs page (content/pages/sandbox.md), a menu entry, and a CSP change adding https://sandbox.coreruleset.org to connect-src in static/_headers. I checked the diff against the OWASP Web/API/LLM criteria. - Injection / Improper output handling (XSS): Every server-supplied value rendered into HTML goes through esc() before innerHTML. This covers rule IDs, PL, message, matched data (table rows, lines 410–415), the sent URL (line 348), warning header names (lines 281–284), and the failure path (lines 418–427). Values that go in with textContent are safe. Rule links use a fixed GitHub base with rel="noopener" (line 342). The /backends discovery data is inserted with createElement/textContent (lines 242–257). - Command injection in the curl preview: shellQuote (line 312) correctly wraps values in single quotes and escapes embedded '. The copied command is only shown to the user and is not executed by the page. - SSRF / open redirect: The visitor-controlled path always starts with / and is appended to the configured API base (lines 290–291, 308), so the host cannot change. The api parameter is set only by page authors. - Cryptography / secrets / supply chain: No secrets or keys. The default endpoint is HTTPS. No new third-party scripts or dependencies are loaded. - CSP change: The new origin is HTTPS and specific. The existing script-src 'unsafe-inline' is pre-existing and unchanged by this PR. The new inline script depends on it, which is worth tightening separately but is not a change this PR introduces. - CORS (Broken Access Control): The CORS policy is configured in coreruleset/crs-sandbox, not in this PR. The page sends no credentials. I could not verify the sandbox-side CORS change from this repository. - Logging / PII: The page and docs warn that requests are logged in full and that credentials and personal data must not be sent. - Rate limiting: The page has no client-side throttle. sandbox.md asks for under 10 requests per second. This is a public shared service, not a sensitive endpoint in this repo. No explicit failure condition in the configured check is met by the changed code. Two non-blocking notes: the CSP 'unsafe-inline' dependency, and the reliance on the out-of-repo sandbox CORS change.

Full details: Unpinned Dependencies & Actions

Explanation

Not applicable. The changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head) lists four files: config/_default/languages.yaml (M), content/pages/sandbox.md (A), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (A), and static/_headers (M). None is a GitHub Actions workflow, Go module file, Python requirements or pyproject file, npm/pnpm/Yarn manifest or lockfile, Dockerfile, Terraform file, Helm Chart.yaml, .gitmodules, or other dependency manifest. The trigger condition is not met, so the check reports Passed with the reason "not applicable". The new connect-src entry in static/_headers is a CSP change, not a dependency pin, so it is outside this check's scope.

Full details: Secrets, Payloads & Pii In Logs

Explanation

The PR adds no logging, telemetry, or tracing code. Checked the diff for the four changed files (layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html, content/pages/sandbox.md, static/_headers, config/_default/languages.yaml). No console.*, analytics, beacon, or logger calls appear. The only new network call is the visitor-initiated fetch() to the sandbox API. Its response goes to the page DOM and the json-report viewer. The error paths (for example layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html lines 340, 394, 427, 441, 459) write e.message and sandbox response text into the visitor's own page. Nothing reaches a shared log, CI output, or PR comment. The check's listed risks are about shared sinks, so these are out of scope. The text shown is the visitor's own input or the sandbox's own error text. Not a credential or PII leak from this code. Prior failure disposition: the previous run cited sandbox-side request logging (content/pages/sandbox.md line 69 and the page note at line 249). That is server-side behaviour of crs-sandbox, not code emitted by this diff. The page already warns visitors not to send credentials or personal data. The CSP change (static/_headers) only adds a connect source. The claims that this PR logs or leaks request data are not supported by the diff. Residual note, not a failure: the visitor can copy a curl line that contains any headers they typed. This is their own data on their own screen. Prior failure refuted: The prior FAIL claimed this PR logs or exposes visitor data. The diff emits no log, telemetry, or tracing (no console/analytics/beacon/logger calls in crs-sandbox.html, sandbox.md, _headers, languages.yaml). The 'logged in full' text is documentation of the separate crs-sandbox server's behaviour, with a warning shown to visitors. Error text (e.message, sandbox response text) is rendered only i...

Full details: New Dependency Scrutiny

Explanation

The check applies only when the PR diff adds a dependency entry to a manifest or lock file, a new third-party uses: GitHub Action, or a new Buildkite plugin. The PR changes four files: config/_default/languages.yaml, content/pages/sandbox.md (added), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (added), and static/_headers. None of these is a listed manifest, a workflow under .github/workflows, or a Buildkite pipeline. A diff search for uses:, plugins:, and image: returned no added lines. The only new added-line reference to an external host is sandbox.coreruleset.org in the connect-src CSP directive. That is a first-party endpoint and a header value, not a dependency entry. The shortcode is inline markup, styles, and script with no added package or CDN import, per the PR description. No new dependency is introduced, so no justification or typosquat review is triggered.

Full details: Install & Build-Time Code Execution

Explanation

The check covers install and build-time code execution: pipe-to-shell installers, Go checksum bypasses, Python packaging hooks, npm lifecycle scripts, Docker build-time fetches, and Terraform provisioners. The PR's changed-file inventory (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head) contains four files: config/_default/languages.yaml (M), content/pages/sandbox.md (A), layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html (A), and static/_headers (M). None is a package manifest, lockfile, Dockerfile, CI workflow, Terraform file, Go module file, or Python packaging file. A pattern search of the full patch for curl/wget piped to a shell, GOSUMDB/GOFLAGS/GOPRIVATE/GONOSUMDB/GOINSECURE, pip/uv pip installs, pre/postinstall scripts, RUN steps, provisioners, setup.py, and go install found no matches that apply. The only hits were unrelated text (a CRS rule-name map and a JS comment). The shortcode's remote fetch to the sandbox API runs in the visitor's browser at page view time. It is not part of install or Hugo build execution, so it is outside this check's scope. The _headers change only widens connect-src. No failure condition applies.

Full details: Renovate: Config Present And Valid

Explanation

The check does not trigger, and the configuration it checks is valid anyway. Trigger: The PR changes four files: config/_default/languages.yaml, content/pages/sandbox.md, layouts/shortcodes/crs-sandbox.html, and static/_headers. None of them is a Renovate file or in the repo root or .github/. The repo already has a Renovate config, so the "no config exists" trigger does not apply. Even if the check ran, all three checks pass. renovate.json exists at the repo root at the PR head (commit refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head). Its content: - Check 1 (file presence): renovate.json exists at the root. - Check 2 ($schema): set to https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json. - Check 3 (shared preset): extends contains github>coreruleset/renovate-config. The packageRules and customManagers blocks are repo-local additions. The check allows them. The primary author is fzipi. The author does not affect this check. Limitation: The linked coreruleset/website repository is not available to inspect_linked_repository in this run. The checkout evidence covers the PR and the renovate.json content.

Full details: Ai Use Without Disclosure

Explanation

❌ blocker: AI assistance detected without a disclosure. Disclosure status: missing. The PR body has no ## AI Disclosure section. It has no **AI usage for this contribution:** answer and no | Detail | Response | table. The check counts a section that is absent as missing. Direct signal present: the PR body ends with the line "🤖 Generated with Claude Code". The check names "Generated with" lines from an AI tool as a direct signal. The body also says the page was built and tested with help from that tool flow, and it names Claude Code. Supporting context: the PR body reports 28 headless jsdom checks and a headless Chromium run. The check does not need these indirect signals, because one direct signal is enough. This verdict covers disclosure only. Adequacy is reviewed by AI Contribution Disclosure, as the check states for a passing disclosure.

Resolution

Fill in the ## AI Disclosure section of the PR body per AI-CONTRIBUTIONS.md: - Set **AI usage for this contribution:** to Used. - Complete the | Detail | Response | table. Name the tool (Claude Code), list what it assisted (code, page text, tests), and describe the human review performed. - Keep the existing "Generated with Claude Code" line, or fold it into the section. After the body is edited, the check can be re-run.

Full details: Ai Contribution Disclosure

Explanation

The PR body contains an AI-tool signature line: "🤖 Generated with Claude Code". The custom check forbids any Co-Authored-By or AI-tool signature line in a commit message or PR body. This is a direct match. The PR body also lacks the required lowercase ## what, ## why, and ## refs sections. The description uses other headings ("What is in it", "Tested") and no ## what, ## why, or ## refs heading. The PR is a substantial feature, not a trivial change, so the exemption does not apply. The body has no AI disclosure section with the three required fields (tool(s) used, what was AI-assisted, review performed). The missing section is covered by the "AI Use Without Disclosure" check. The signature line suggests AI assistance, so the disclosure content would still need to meet the concrete-field standard once added. I did not assess that content because the verdict already fails on the rules above. Scope note: I did not inspect the commit messages for trailers. The PR body alone establishes the failure.

Resolution

Remove the line "🤖 Generated with Claude Code" from the PR body. 2. Add the required sections to the PR body, all lowercase: ## what, ## why, and ## refs. 3. Add an AI disclosure section. It must name the tool and model version, state what was generated (for example, "initial Hugo shortcode markup and CSS"), and state the review performed (for example, "ran the jsdom checks against a local sandbox and tested production in headless Chromium"). Use the PR template table or bullet form. 4. Check commit messages for Co-Authored-By or AI-tool signature lines and remove any found.

Gate the merge on the sandbox CORS deployment (crs-sandbox#160).

When the sandbox returns a blocked json-report response without Access-Control-Allow-Origin, the browser rejects fetch. This catch branch then displays NO ANSWER and reports a possible connectivity failure instead of the 949110 blocking result.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve json-report when adding Extra headers.

If a visitor enters x-format-output: txt-matched-rules in Extra headers, the later value replaces the form’s json-report value. The Sandbox returns text, JSON.parse() fails, and render() displays NO VERDICT. Ignore x-format-output entries from Extra headers while preserving all other user headers.
Suggested fix
-    parseExtraHeaders().forEach(function (h) { headers.push(h); });
+    parseExtraHeaders().forEach(function (h) {
+      if (h[0].toLowerCase() !== 'x-format-output') headers.push(h);
+    });

The browser rewrites the URL before fetch() sends it: "#fragments" are dropped, ".." segments and backslashes resolved, control characters removed, most special characters percent-encoded. It also silently drops forbidden request headers (Cookie, Host, Referer, Origin, Sec-*...), and Safari drops User-Agent too. None of that was visible on the page, and the curl line was built from the typed text, so curl and the browser could legitimately disagree. - the result shows "Sent as <url>" whenever the browser changed what was typed, and the curl line uses that URL so it reproduces the request - a warning names the extra headers the browser will not send, and notes the Safari User-Agent case; the placeholder no longer suggests Cookie - a fetch() refusal (header value with a line break, bad URL) is reported as BROWSER REFUSED with an explanation, distinct from an unreachable sandbox - redirects are followed (redirect: 'manual' gave an opaque status-0 response) and the result says it shows the verdict of the final request - a "Good to know" bullet explains the normalisation and points to curl (--path-as-is) for raw bytes Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The preset payload contained a literal </script>, which ends the script element in every browser: the rest of the page script was rendered as text and nothing worked on the Cloudflare preview. Escape the slash so the HTML parser leaves it alone; Hugo's minifier preserves the escape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Both boxes were hidden by a class rule in the stylesheet while the script only cleared the inline style, so they never appeared in a browser. Hide them inline like the other toggled blocks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🟡 Minor · Allow the documented local API in connect-src. · _headers:7

static/_headers:7
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Allow the documented local API in connect-src.

When /sandbox uses api="http://localhost:8088", the shortcode calls fetch("http://localhost:8088/backends") for discovery and uses the same origin for request submission. The current CSP allows only 'self', Cloudflare Insights, and the hosted sandbox. Browsers can block both requests before they reach the local API.

Suggested fix

-  Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'  https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js https://coreruleset.org/ https://*.website-1u6.pages.dev/; connect-src 'self' https://cloudflareinsights.com https://sandbox.coreruleset.org; frame-ancestors 'none';

- Generate `--data-raw` in the curl command so a body starting with `@` is sent literally instead of uploading a local file. - Give HEAD requests a status-only verdict (403 means blocked) instead of NO VERDICT, since a HEAD response never carries the JSON report. - Report render/parse errors as NO VERDICT; only a rejected fetch() is reported as NO ANSWER / BROWSER REFUSED.
