ModSecurity integration
Optional compensating rules in ModSecurity, for cover while the pull request that fixes the finding ships.

What is ModSecurity?
ModSecurity is an open-source web application firewall engine, originally for Apache and now maintained as a CRS-compatible engine that runs in front of HTTP traffic to block attacks via configurable rules.
Why connect ModSecurity to Konvu
- Add a temporary ModSecurity rule for a finding Konvu has already proven exploitable, so exposure narrows while the upgrade goes through review.
- Test every rule against known exploit signatures and a sample of legitimate traffic before deployment, with rollback if false-positive rates go bad.
- Retire rules once Konvu confirms the upstream fix has shipped, so compensating controls don't silently become permanent.
How it works
Receive exploit conditions
Konvu reads the verified exploit path from a finding it has already proven exploitable.
Draft & test rule
A ModSecurity rule is drafted scoped to the vulnerable code path and tested against the exploit signature and your legitimate traffic.
Deploy with approval flow
The rule is deployed to your ModSecurity instance via the approval flow your team has configured.
Monitor & retire
Blocks and false positives are monitored in production; the rule is removed once Konvu confirms the upstream fix is live.
