SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\WafRegional\WafRegionalClient
Service ID: waf-regional
Version: 2016-11-28

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS WAF Regional (2016-11-28), and shows how to use the Aws\WafRegional\WafRegionalClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2016-11-28 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

CreateRateBasedRule

$result = $client->createRateBasedRule([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createRateBasedRuleAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a RateBasedRule. The RateBasedRule contains a RateLimit, which specifies the maximum number of requests that AWS WAF allows from a specified IP address in a five-minute period. The RateBasedRule also contains the IPSet objects, ByteMatchSet objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to count or block if these requests exceed the RateLimit.

If you add more than one predicate to a RateBasedRule, a request not only must exceed the RateLimit, but it also must match all the conditions to be counted or blocked. For example, suppose you add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

You then add the RateBasedRule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that meet the conditions in the rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot. Further, requests that match these two conditions must be received at a rate of more than 1,000 requests every five minutes. If both conditions are met and the rate is exceeded, AWS WAF blocks the requests. If the rate drops below 1,000 for a five-minute period, AWS WAF no longer blocks the requests.

As a second example, suppose you want to limit requests to a particular page on your site. To do this, you could add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • A ByteMatchSet with FieldToMatch of URI

  • A PositionalConstraint of STARTS_WITH

  • A TargetString of login

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

By adding this RateBasedRule to a WebACL, you could limit requests to your login page without affecting the rest of your site.

To create and configure a RateBasedRule, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the rule. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, and CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRule request.

  3. Submit a CreateRateBasedRule request.

  4. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request.

  5. Submit an UpdateRateBasedRule request to specify the predicates that you want to include in the rule.

  6. Create and update a WebACL that contains the RateBasedRule. For more information, see CreateWebACL.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

MetricName
Required: Yes
Type: string

A friendly name or description for the metrics for this RateBasedRule. The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), with maximum length 128 and minimum length one. It can't contain whitespace or metric names reserved for AWS WAF, including "All" and "Default_Action." You can't change the name of the metric after you create the RateBasedRule.

Name
Required: Yes
Type: string

A friendly name or description of the RateBasedRule. You can't change the name of a RateBasedRule after you create it.

RateKey
Required: Yes
Type: string

The field that AWS WAF uses to determine if requests are likely arriving from a single source and thus subject to rate monitoring. The only valid value for RateKey is IP. IP indicates that requests that arrive from the same IP address are subject to the RateLimit that is specified in the RateBasedRule.

RateLimit
Required: Yes
Type: long (int|float)

The maximum number of requests, which have an identical value in the field that is specified by RateKey, allowed in a five-minute period. If the number of requests exceeds the RateLimit and the other predicates specified in the rule are also met, AWS WAF triggers the action that is specified for this rule.

Creates a Rule, which contains the IPSet objects, ByteMatchSet objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to block. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed or blocked. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule:

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header

You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to blocks requests that satisfy the Rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot.

To create and configure a Rule, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, and CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRule request.

  3. Submit a CreateRule request.

CreateWebACL

$result = $client->createWebACL([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createWebACLAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a WebACL, which contains the Rules that identify the CloudFront web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. AWS WAF evaluates Rules in order based on the value of Priority for each Rule.

You also specify a default action, either ALLOW or BLOCK. If a web request doesn't match any of the Rules in a WebACL, AWS WAF responds to the request with the default action.

To create and configure a WebACL, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the ByteMatchSet objects and other predicates that you want to include in Rules. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, UpdateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, UpdateIPSet, CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet, and UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Create and update the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL. For more information, see CreateRule and UpdateRule.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateWebACL request.

  4. Submit a CreateWebACL request.

  5. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateWebACL request.

  6. Submit an UpdateWebACL request to specify the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL, to specify the default action, and to associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

When you want to create, update, or delete AWS WAF objects, get a change token and include the change token in the create, update, or delete request. Change tokens ensure that your application doesn't submit conflicting requests to AWS WAF.

Each create, update, or delete request must use a unique change token. If your application submits a GetChangeToken request and then submits a second GetChangeToken request before submitting a create, update, or delete request, the second GetChangeToken request returns the same value as the first GetChangeToken request.

When you use a change token in a create, update, or delete request, the status of the change token changes to PENDING, which indicates that AWS WAF is propagating the change to all AWS WAF servers. Use GetChangeTokenStatus to determine the status of your change token.

Gets detailed information about a specified number of requests--a sample--that AWS WAF randomly selects from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during a time range that you choose. You can specify a sample size of up to 500 requests, and you can specify any time range in the previous three hours.

GetSampledRequests returns a time range, which is usually the time range that you specified. However, if your resource (such as a CloudFront distribution) received 5,000 requests before the specified time range elapsed, GetSampledRequests returns an updated time range. This new time range indicates the actual period during which AWS WAF selected the requests in the sample.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->getSampledRequests([
    'MaxItems' => <integer>, // REQUIRED
    'RuleId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

Parameter Details

Members
MaxItems
Required: Yes
Type: long (int|float)

The number of requests that you want AWS WAF to return from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during the time range. If your resource received fewer requests than the value of MaxItems, GetSampledRequests returns information about all of them.

RuleId
Required: Yes
Type: string

RuleId is one of three values:

  • The RuleId of the Rule or the RuleGroupId of the RuleGroup for which you want GetSampledRequests to return a sample of requests.

  • Default_Action, which causes GetSampledRequests to return a sample of the requests that didn't match any of the rules in the specified WebACL.

TimeWindow
Required: Yes
Type: TimeWindow structure

The start date and time and the end date and time of the range for which you want GetSampledRequests to return a sample of requests. You must specify the times in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format. UTC format includes the special designator, Z. For example, "2016-09-27T14:50Z". You can specify any time range in the previous three hours.

WebAclId

Associates a LoggingConfiguration with a specified web ACL.

You can access information about all traffic that AWS WAF inspects using the following steps:

  1. Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose.

    Create the data firehose with a PUT source and in the region that you are operating. However, if you are capturing logs for Amazon CloudFront, always create the firehose in US East (N. Virginia).

    Do not create the data firehose using a Kinesis stream as your source.

  2. Associate that firehose to your web ACL using a PutLoggingConfiguration request.

When you successfully enable logging using a PutLoggingConfiguration request, AWS WAF will create a service linked role with the necessary permissions to write logs to the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. For more information, see Logging Web ACL Traffic Information in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Inserts or deletes ByteMatchTuple objects (filters) in a ByteMatchSet. For each ByteMatchTuple object, you specify the following values:

  • Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a ByteMatchSetUpdate object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as a query string or the value of the User-Agent header.

  • The bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to look for. For more information, including how you specify the values for the AWS WAF API and the AWS CLI or SDKs, see TargetString in the ByteMatchTuple data type.

  • Where to look, such as at the beginning or the end of a query string.

  • Whether to perform any conversions on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before inspecting it for the specified string.

For example, you can add a ByteMatchSetUpdate object that matches web requests in which User-Agent headers contain the string BadBot. You can then configure AWS WAF to block those requests.

To create and configure a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a ByteMatchSet. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateByteMatchSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateByteMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

UpdateIPSet

$result = $client->updateIPSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateIPSetAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes IPSetDescriptor objects in an IPSet. For each IPSetDescriptor object, you specify the following values:

  • Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change an IPSetDescriptor object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • The IP address version, IPv4 or IPv6.

  • The IP address in CIDR notation, for example, 192.0.2.0/24 (for the range of IP addresses from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255) or 192.0.2.44/32 (for the individual IP address 192.0.2.44).

AWS WAF supports IPv4 address ranges: /8 and any range between /16 through /32. AWS WAF supports IPv6 address ranges: /24, /32, /48, /56, /64, and /128. For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing.

IPv6 addresses can be represented using any of the following formats:

  • 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128

  • 1111:0:0:0:0:0:0:0111/128

  • 1111::0111/128

  • 1111::111/128

You use an IPSet to specify which web requests you want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests originated from. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from one or a small number of IP addresses and you want to block the requests, you can create an IPSet that specifies those IP addresses, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure an IPSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Submit a CreateIPSet request.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateIPSet request to specify the IP addresses that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

When you update an IPSet, you specify the IP addresses that you want to add and/or the IP addresses that you want to delete. If you want to change an IP address, you delete the existing IP address and add the new one.

You can insert a maximum of 1000 addresses in a single request.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Examples

Example 1: To update an IP set

The following example deletes an IPSetDescriptor object in an IP match set with the ID example1ds3t-46da-4fdb-b8d5-abc321j569j5.

$result = $client->updateIPSet([
    'ChangeToken' => 'abcd12f2-46da-4fdb-b8d5-fbd4c466928f',
    'IPSetId' => 'example1ds3t-46da-4fdb-b8d5-abc321j569j5',
    'Updates' => [
        [
            'Action' => 'DELETE',
            'IPSetDescriptor' => [
                'Type' => 'IPV4',
                'Value' => '192.0.2.44/32',
            ],
        ],
    ],
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ChangeToken' => 'abcd12f2-46da-4fdb-b8d5-fbd4c466928f',
]

UpdateRateBasedRule

$result = $client->updateRateBasedRule([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateRateBasedRuleAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a rule and updates the RateLimit in the rule.

Each Predicate object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to block or count. The RateLimit specifies the number of requests every five minutes that triggers the rule.

If you add more than one predicate to a RateBasedRule, a request must match all the predicates and exceed the RateLimit to be counted or blocked. For example, suppose you add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

You then add the RateBasedRule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that satisfy the rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot. Further, requests that match these two conditions much be received at a rate of more than 1,000 every five minutes. If the rate drops below this limit, AWS WAF no longer blocks the requests.

As a second example, suppose you want to limit requests to a particular page on your site. To do this, you could add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • A ByteMatchSet with FieldToMatch of URI

  • A PositionalConstraint of STARTS_WITH

  • A TargetString of login

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

By adding this RateBasedRule to a WebACL, you could limit requests to your login page without affecting the rest of your site.

$result = $client->updateRateBasedRule([
    'ChangeToken' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a Rule. Each Predicate object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule:

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches the value BadBot in the User-Agent header

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44

You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that satisfy the Rule. For a request to be blocked, the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot and the request must originate from the IP address 192.0.2.44.

To create and configure a Rule, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule.

  2. Create the Rule. See CreateRule.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request.

  4. Submit an UpdateRule request to add predicates to the Rule.

  5. Create and update a WebACL that contains the Rule. See CreateWebACL.

If you want to replace one ByteMatchSet or IPSet with another, you delete the existing one and add the new one.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRuleGroup request.

  3. Submit an UpdateRuleGroup request to add Rules to the RuleGroup.

  4. Create and update a WebACL that contains the RuleGroup. See CreateWebACL.

If you want to replace one Rule with another, you delete the existing one and add the new one.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

UpdateSizeConstraintSet

$result = $client->updateSizeConstraintSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateSizeConstraintSetAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes SizeConstraint objects (filters) in a SizeConstraintSet. For each SizeConstraint object, you specify the following values:

  • Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a SizeConstraintSetUpdate object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to evaluate, such as the length of a query string or the length of the User-Agent header.

  • Whether to perform any transformations on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before checking its length. Note that transformations of the request body are not supported because the AWS resource forwards only the first 8192 bytes of your request to AWS WAF.

    You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

  • A ComparisonOperator used for evaluating the selected part of the request against the specified Size, such as equals, greater than, less than, and so on.

  • The length, in bytes, that you want AWS WAF to watch for in selected part of the request. The length is computed after applying the transformation.

For example, you can add a SizeConstraintSetUpdate object that matches web requests in which the length of the User-Agent header is greater than 100 bytes. You can then configure AWS WAF to block those requests.

To create and configure a SizeConstraintSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a SizeConstraintSet. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateSizeConstraintSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateSizeConstraintSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes SqlInjectionMatchTuple objects (filters) in a SqlInjectionMatchSet. For each SqlInjectionMatchTuple object, you specify the following values:

  • Action: Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change a SqlInjectionMatchTuple, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • FieldToMatch: The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header or custom query parameter, the name of the header or parameter.

  • TextTransformation: Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for snippets of malicious SQL code.

    You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

You use SqlInjectionMatchSet objects to specify which CloudFront requests that you want to allow, block, or count. For example, if you're receiving requests that contain snippets of SQL code in the query string and you want to block the requests, you can create a SqlInjectionMatchSet with the applicable settings, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure a SqlInjectionMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Submit a CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet request.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet request to specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for snippets of SQL code.

UpdateWebACL

$result = $client->updateWebACL([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateWebACLAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes ActivatedRule objects in a WebACL. Each Rule identifies web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. When you update a WebACL, you specify the following values:

  • A default action for the WebACL, either ALLOW or BLOCK. AWS WAF performs the default action if a request doesn't match the criteria in any of the Rules in a WebACL.

  • The Rules that you want to add or delete. If you want to replace one Rule with another, you delete the existing Rule and add the new one.

  • For each Rule, whether you want AWS WAF to allow requests, block requests, or count requests that match the conditions in the Rule.

  • The order in which you want AWS WAF to evaluate the Rules in a WebACL. If you add more than one Rule to a WebACL, AWS WAF evaluates each request against the Rules in order based on the value of Priority. (The Rule that has the lowest value for Priority is evaluated first.) When a web request matches all the predicates (such as ByteMatchSets and IPSets) in a Rule, AWS WAF immediately takes the corresponding action, allow or block, and doesn't evaluate the request against the remaining Rules in the WebACL, if any.

To create and configure a WebACL, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in Rules. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, UpdateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, UpdateIPSet, CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet, and UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Create and update the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL. For more information, see CreateRule and UpdateRule.

  3. Create a WebACL. See CreateWebACL.

  4. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateWebACL request.

  5. Submit an UpdateWebACL request to specify the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL, to specify the default action, and to associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution.

    The ActivatedRule can be a rule group. If you specify a rule group as your ActivatedRule , you can exclude specific rules from that rule group.

    If you already have a rule group associated with a web ACL and want to submit an UpdateWebACL request to exclude certain rules from that rule group, you must first remove the rule group from the web ACL, the re-insert it again, specifying the excluded rules. For details, see ActivatedRule$ExcludedRules .

Be aware that if you try to add a RATE_BASED rule to a web ACL without setting the rule type when first creating the rule, the UpdateWebACL request will fail because the request tries to add a REGULAR rule (the default rule type) with the specified ID, which does not exist.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

$result = $client->updateWebACL([
    'ChangeToken' => 'abcd12f2-46da-4fdb-b8d5-fbd4c466928f',
    'DefaultAction' => [
        'Type' => 'ALLOW',
    ],
    'Updates' => [
        [
            'Action' => 'DELETE',
            'ActivatedRule' => [
                'Action' => [
                    'Type' => 'ALLOW',

                'Priority' => 1,
                'RuleId' => 'WAFRule-1-Example',
            ],
        ],
    ],
    'WebACLId' => 'webacl-1472061481310',
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ChangeToken' => 'abcd12f2-46da-4fdb-b8d5-fbd4c466928f',
]

UpdateXssMatchSet

$result = $client->updateXssMatchSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateXssMatchSetAsync([/* ... */]);

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Inserts or deletes XssMatchTuple objects (filters) in an XssMatchSet. For each XssMatchTuple object, you specify the following values:

  • Action: Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change an XssMatchTuple, you delete the existing object and add a new one.

  • FieldToMatch: The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header or custom query parameter, the name of the header or parameter.

  • TextTransformation: Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for cross-site scripting attacks.

    You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

You use XssMatchSet objects to specify which CloudFront requests that you want to allow, block, or count. For example, if you're receiving requests that contain cross-site scripting attacks in the request body and you want to block the requests, you can create an XssMatchSet with the applicable settings, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure an XssMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Submit a CreateXssMatchSet request.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.

  3. Submit an UpdateXssMatchSet request to specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

ActivatedRule

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

The ActivatedRule object in an UpdateWebACL request specifies a Rule that you want to insert or delete, the priority of the Rule in the WebACL, and the action that you want AWS WAF to take when a web request matches the Rule (ALLOW, BLOCK, or COUNT).

To specify whether to insert or delete a Rule, use the Action parameter in the WebACLUpdate data type.

Members
Action
Type: WafAction structure

Specifies the action that CloudFront or AWS WAF takes when a web request matches the conditions in the Rule. Valid values for Action include the following:

  • ALLOW: CloudFront responds with the requested object.

  • BLOCK: CloudFront responds with an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) status code.

  • COUNT: AWS WAF increments a counter of requests that match the conditions in the rule and then continues to inspect the web request based on the remaining rules in the web ACL.

ActivatedRule|OverrideAction applies only when updating or adding a RuleGroup to a WebACL. In this case, you do not use ActivatedRule|Action. For all other update requests, ActivatedRule|Action is used instead of ActivatedRule|OverrideAction.

ExcludedRules
Type: Array of ExcludedRule structures

An array of rules to exclude from a rule group. This is applicable only when the ActivatedRule refers to a RuleGroup.

Sometimes it is necessary to troubleshoot rule groups that are blocking traffic unexpectedly (false positives). One troubleshooting technique is to identify the specific rule within the rule group that is blocking the legitimate traffic and then disable (exclude) that particular rule. You can exclude rules from both your own rule groups and AWS Marketplace rule groups that have been associated with a web ACL.

Specifying ExcludedRules does not remove those rules from the rule group. Rather, it changes the action for the rules to COUNT. Therefore, requests that match an ExcludedRule are counted but not blocked. The RuleGroup owner will receive COUNT metrics for each ExcludedRule.

If you want to exclude rules from a rule group that is already associated with a web ACL, perform the following steps:

  1. Use the AWS WAF logs to identify the IDs of the rules that you want to exclude. For more information about the logs, see Logging Web ACL Traffic Information.

  2. Submit an UpdateWebACL request that has two actions:

    • The first action deletes the existing rule group from the web ACL. That is, in the UpdateWebACL request, the first Updates:Action should be DELETE and Updates:ActivatedRule:RuleId should be the rule group that contains the rules that you want to exclude.

    • The second action inserts the same rule group back in, but specifying the rules to exclude. That is, the second Updates:Action should be INSERT, Updates:ActivatedRule:RuleId should be the rule group that you just removed, and ExcludedRules should contain the rules that you want to exclude.

OverrideAction
Type: WafOverrideAction structure

Use the OverrideAction to test your RuleGroup.

Any rule in a RuleGroup can potentially block a request. If you set the OverrideAction to None, the RuleGroup will block a request if any individual rule in the RuleGroup matches the request and is configured to block that request. However if you first want to test the RuleGroup, set the OverrideAction to Count. The RuleGroup will then override any block action specified by individual rules contained within the group. Instead of blocking matching requests, those requests will be counted. You can view a record of counted requests using GetSampledRequests.

ActivatedRule|OverrideAction applies only when updating or adding a RuleGroup to a WebACL. In this case you do not use ActivatedRule|Action. For all other update requests, ActivatedRule|Action is used instead of ActivatedRule|OverrideAction.

Priority
Required: Yes
Type: int

Specifies the order in which the Rules in a WebACL are evaluated. Rules with a lower value for Priority are evaluated before Rules with a higher value. The value must be a unique integer. If you add multiple Rules to a WebACL, the values don't need to be consecutive.

RuleId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The RuleId for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).

RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.

Type
Type: string

The rule type, either REGULAR, as defined by Rule, RATE_BASED, as defined by RateBasedRule, or GROUP, as defined by RuleGroup. The default is REGULAR. Although this field is optional, be aware that if you try to add a RATE_BASED rule to a web ACL without setting the type, the UpdateWebACL request will fail because the request tries to add a REGULAR rule with the specified ID, which does not exist.

ByteMatchSet

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

In a GetByteMatchSet request, ByteMatchSet is a complex type that contains the ByteMatchSetId and Name of a ByteMatchSet, and the values that you specified when you updated the ByteMatchSet.

A complex type that contains ByteMatchTuple objects, which specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and the values that you want AWS WAF to search for. If a ByteMatchSet contains more than one ByteMatchTuple object, a request needs to match the settings in only one ByteMatchTuple to be considered a match.

Members
ByteMatchSetId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The ByteMatchSetId for a ByteMatchSet. You use ByteMatchSetId to get information about a ByteMatchSet (see GetByteMatchSet), update a ByteMatchSet (see UpdateByteMatchSet), insert a ByteMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a ByteMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteByteMatchSet).

ByteMatchSetId is returned by CreateByteMatchSet and by ListByteMatchSets.

ByteMatchTuples
Required: Yes
Type: Array of ByteMatchTuple structures

Specifies the bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to search for in web requests, the location in requests that you want AWS WAF to search, and other settings.

Name
Type: string

A friendly name or description of the ByteMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a ByteMatchSet.

ByteMatchSetSummary

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Returned by ListByteMatchSets. Each ByteMatchSetSummary object includes the Name and ByteMatchSetId for one ByteMatchSet.

Members
ByteMatchSetId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The ByteMatchSetId for a ByteMatchSet. You use ByteMatchSetId to get information about a ByteMatchSet, update a ByteMatchSet, remove a ByteMatchSet from a Rule, and delete a ByteMatchSet from AWS WAF.

ByteMatchSetId is returned by CreateByteMatchSet and by ListByteMatchSets.

Name
Required: Yes
Type: string

A friendly name or description of the ByteMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a ByteMatchSet.

ByteMatchSetUpdate

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

In an UpdateByteMatchSet request, ByteMatchSetUpdate specifies whether to insert or delete a ByteMatchTuple and includes the settings for the ByteMatchTuple.

Members
Action
Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies whether to insert or delete a ByteMatchTuple.

ByteMatchTuple
Required: Yes
Type: ByteMatchTuple structure

Information about the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect and the value that you want AWS WAF to search for. If you specify DELETE for the value of Action, the ByteMatchTuple values must exactly match the values in the ByteMatchTuple that you want to delete from the ByteMatchSet.

ByteMatchTuple

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

The bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to search for in web requests, the location in requests that you want AWS WAF to search, and other settings.

Members
FieldToMatch
Required: Yes
Type: FieldToMatch structure

The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

PositionalConstraint
Required: Yes
Type: string

Within the portion of a web request that you want to search (for example, in the query string, if any), specify where you want AWS WAF to search. Valid values include the following:

CONTAINS

The specified part of the web request must include the value of TargetString, but the location doesn't matter.

CONTAINS_WORD

The specified part of the web request must include the value of TargetString, and TargetString must contain only alphanumeric characters or underscore (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or _). In addition, TargetString must be a word, which means one of the following:

  • TargetString exactly matches the value of the specified part of the web request, such as the value of a header.

  • TargetString is at the beginning of the specified part of the web request and is followed by a character other than an alphanumeric character or underscore (_), for example, BadBot;.

  • TargetString is at the end of the specified part of the web request and is preceded by a character other than an alphanumeric character or underscore (_), for example, ;BadBot.

  • TargetString is in the middle of the specified part of the web request and is preceded and followed by characters other than alphanumeric characters or underscore (_), for example, -BadBot;.

EXACTLY

The value of the specified part of the web request must exactly match the value of TargetString.

STARTS_WITH

The value of TargetString must appear at the beginning of the specified part of the web request.

ENDS_WITH

The value of TargetString must appear at the end of the specified part of the web request.

TargetString
Required: Yes
Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

Valid values depend on the values that you specified for FieldToMatch:

  • HEADER: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the request header that you specified in FieldToMatch, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header.

  • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicates the type of operation specified in the request. CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

  • QUERY_STRING: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character.

  • URI: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the part of a URL that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.

  • BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

  • SINGLE_QUERY_ARG: The parameter in the query string that you will inspect, such as UserName or SalesRegion. The maximum length for SINGLE_QUERY_ARG is 30 characters.

  • ALL_QUERY_ARGS: Similar to SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, but instead of inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF inspects all parameters within the query string for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

If TargetString includes alphabetic characters A-Z and a-z, note that the value is case sensitive.

If you're using the AWS WAF API

Specify a base64-encoded version of the value. The maximum length of the value before you base64-encode it is 50 bytes.

For example, suppose the value of Type is HEADER and the value of Data is User-Agent. If you want to search the User-Agent header for the value BadBot, you base64-encode BadBot using MIME base64-encoding and include the resulting value, QmFkQm90, in the value of TargetString.

If you're using the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs

The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. The SDK automatically base64 encodes the value.

TextTransformation
Required: Yes
Type: string

Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

CMD_LINE

When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

  • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

  • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

  • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

  • Replace multiple spaces with one space

  • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

  • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

  • \t, tab, decimal 9

  • \n, newline, decimal 10

  • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

  • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

  • non-breaking space, decimal 160

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

  • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

  • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

  • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

  • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

  • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

  • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

LOWERCASE

Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

URL_DECODE

Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

NONE

Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.

SizeConstraint

Description

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Specifies a constraint on the size of a part of the web request. AWS WAF uses the Size, ComparisonOperator, and FieldToMatch to build an expression in the form of "Size ComparisonOperator size in bytes of FieldToMatch". If that expression is true, the SizeConstraint is considered to match.

Members
ComparisonOperator
Required: Yes
Type: string

The type of comparison you want AWS WAF to perform. AWS WAF uses this in combination with the provided Size and FieldToMatch to build an expression in the form of "Size ComparisonOperator size in bytes of FieldToMatch". If that expression is true, the SizeConstraint is considered to match.

EQ: Used to test if the Size is equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

NE: Used to test if the Size is not equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

LE: Used to test if the Size is less than or equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

LT: Used to test if the Size is strictly less than the size of the FieldToMatch

GE: Used to test if the Size is greater than or equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

GT: Used to test if the Size is strictly greater than the size of the FieldToMatch

FieldToMatch
Required: Yes
Type: FieldToMatch structure

Specifies where in a web request to look for the size constraint.

Size
Required: Yes
Type: long (int|float)

The size in bytes that you want AWS WAF to compare against the size of the specified FieldToMatch. AWS WAF uses this in combination with ComparisonOperator and FieldToMatch to build an expression in the form of "Size ComparisonOperator size in bytes of FieldToMatch". If that expression is true, the SizeConstraint is considered to match.

Valid values for size are 0 - 21474836480 bytes (0 - 20 GB).

If you specify URI for the value of Type, the / in the URI counts as one character. For example, the URI /logo.jpg is nine characters long.

TextTransformation
Required: Yes
Type: string

Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

Note that if you choose BODY for the value of Type, you must choose NONE for TextTransformation because CloudFront forwards only the first 8192 bytes for inspection.

NONE

Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.

CMD_LINE

When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

  • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

  • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

  • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

  • Replace multiple spaces with one space

  • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

  • \n, newline, decimal 10

  • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

  • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

  • non-breaking space, decimal 160

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

  • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

  • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

  • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

  • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

  • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

  • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

TextTransformation
Required: Yes
Type: string

Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

CMD_LINE

When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

  • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

  • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

  • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

  • Replace multiple spaces with one space

  • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

  • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

  • \t, tab, decimal 9

  • \n, newline, decimal 10

  • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

  • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

  • non-breaking space, decimal 160

COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

  • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

  • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

  • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

  • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

  • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

  • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

LOWERCASE

Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

URL_DECODE

Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

NONE

Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.
