Release Notes

Each entry lists features that exist in product code. Optional capabilities require admin enablement per application.

2026.06 — OpenAPI validation & operational clarity

Current

Added (in product code)

  • OpenAPI request validationWafOpenApiRequestValidator enforces path/method match, query/path parameters (required, type, min/max, maxLength, enum), and JSON bodies when API Security + uploaded schema are enabled per app.
  • Runs in inspection pipeline before OWASP rule engine (API Security step → virtual patches → modules → CRS).
  • Virtual directory column in protection logs, application logs, and Geo Traffic Wall.
  • Per-app CSP toggle — enforce WAF CSP on proxied apps or pass upstream headers (default: pass upstream).
  • Admin portal IP allowlist — dedicated WAF domain + CIDR allowlist for remote management.
  • False-positive intelligence — SQL/CRS alerts on static assets (.js, .css, .map) labeled in UI; scoped engine skip on GET/HEAD static paths; API endpoints remain fully inspected.

Limits (honest)

  • OpenAPI: manual upload only — no auto-discovery from traffic.
  • No full $ref resolution; schema JSON stored in DB with size cap (~5000 characters).
  • JSON behavioral anomaly / schema drift (Level 4) — not implemented.

2026.05 — SOC architecture & decision engine

  • Two-phase pipeline: signal collector → security decision engine (Allow / Block / Challenge / Log).
  • SOC Queue (advisory prioritization — read-only, no state changes).
  • Attack campaign correlation by IP; decision explanation layer stored in traffic logs.
  • Threat intel feeds (FireHOL, AbuseIPDB, custom JSON) — advisory at import; blocking via policies only.
  • RBAC v2 policies: SuperAdmin, SecurityAdmin, SocAnalyst, ReadOnly (+ legacy aliases).

2026.04 — Core WAF platform

  • Reverse proxy with SSL termination, YARP forwarder, virtual directories (longest-prefix matching).
  • Reporting / Protection / detection-only / offline modes per application.
  • Route learning in Reporting mode (Method + URL allowlist via Positive Security).
  • OWASP detection modules (SQLi, XSS, RCE, SSRF, LFI, CMD) + CRS-style rule catalog.
  • Windows x64 self-contained publish; SQL Server schema bootstrap.
