Notes

Berno

Current version of Berno allows SSI only in .shtml files. Berno includes parts from very old version of RedBrick (1.x) to handle "exec" SSI directives.

easy-waf integration

NOTICE: Using a WAF (Web Application Firewall) is no subsitute for web application security, because attacker will find a way to bypass the WAF.

Configuration file is easywaf-config.json inside SVR.JS installation directory. Configuration is passed to easy-waf. You can see documentation at its GitHub page. This mod requires easy-waf Node.JS module.

From easy-waf-integration 1.2.0, there is also additional mailConfig property, which is an object with those values:

  • serverConfig - server configuration object passed to nodemailer
  • from - source e-mail address
  • to - destination e-mail address

These versions support sending email in case of blocked request (requires nodemailer module).

From easy-waf-integration 1.2.0, there is support of pre-block and post-block hooks in easywaf-hooks.js inside SVR.JS installation directory.

Example easywaf-hooks.js code:

//EasyWAF hooks. For more information read the easy-waf documentation in GitHub.

function preBlockHook(req, moduleInfo, ip) {
  //You can add exceptions for WAF. In this example we do add exception for "cgi-bin".
  if (moduleInfo.name == 'directoryTraversal' && req.url.match(/\/cgi-bin(?:$|[#?/])/)) return false;
  //We're also adding XSS exception for YaBB forum software to prevent false positives
  if (moduleInfo.name == 'xss' && /\/YaBB\.(?:pl|cgi)(?:$|[?#])/.test(req.url) && /(?:(\\?)|[;&])action=(?:post2|modify2|imsend2|cdchatupdate|ajxmessage)($|[;&#])/.test(req.url)) return false;
}

function postBlockHook(req, moduleInfo, ip) {
  //You can, for example send an e-mail notification or log it into file.
}

module.exports = {postBlockHook: postBlockHook, preBlockHook: preBlockHook};

From easy-waf-integration 1.2.4, there are additional configuration properties:

  • maxRequestCheckedSize - maximum size of the request body (in bytes) to be checked. Default is 65536 (64 KiB).
  • maxRequestCheckedSizeStrict - option to enable strict request body limits. If the limits are exceeded, then the server will return a 413 Content Too Large error. Default is false.

If you're using SVR.JS behind a reverse proxy, you need to configure trustProxy property in easy-waf configuration.

Example easywaf-config.json file:

{
  "modules" : {
    "xss": {
      "excludePaths": "/^\\/(?:git\\/)?(?:(?!\\.git).)*\\.git\\/|^\\/(?:(?:navbar-)?logo|powered).png$/"
    },
    "noSqlInjection": {
      "excludePaths": "/^\\/(?:git\\/)?(?:(?!\\.git).)*\\.git\\//"
    },
    "crlfInjection": {
      "excludePaths": "/^\\/(?:git\\/)?(?:(?!\\.git).)*\\.git\\//"
    }
  },
  "mailConfig": {
    "serverConfig": {
      "host": "localhost",
      "port": 25,
      "secure": false,
      "ignoreTLS": true
    },
    "from": "svrjs@localhost",
    "to": "sysadmin@localhost"
  }
}
