WAF.Client.create_sql_injection_match_set(**kwargs)#

Note

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 SqlInjectionMatchSet, which you use to allow, block, or count requests that contain snippets of SQL code in a specified part of web requests. AWS WAF searches for character sequences that are likely to be malicious strings.

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

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

  • Submit a CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet request.

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

  • Submit an UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet request to specify the parts of web requests in which you want to allow, block, or count malicious SQL code.

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

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    The response to a CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet request.

    • SqlInjectionMatchSet (dict) –

      A SqlInjectionMatchSet.

      • SqlInjectionMatchSetId (string) –

        A unique identifier for a SqlInjectionMatchSet. You use SqlInjectionMatchSetId to get information about a SqlInjectionMatchSet (see GetSqlInjectionMatchSet), update a SqlInjectionMatchSet (see UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet), insert a SqlInjectionMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a SqlInjectionMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteSqlInjectionMatchSet).

        SqlInjectionMatchSetId is returned by CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet and by ListSqlInjectionMatchSets.

      • Name (string) –

        The name, if any, of the SqlInjectionMatchSet.

      • SqlInjectionMatchTuples (list) –

        Specifies the parts of web requests that you want to inspect for snippets of malicious SQL code.

        • (dict) –

          Note

          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 the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect for snippets of malicious SQL code and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header, the name of the header.

          • FieldToMatch (dict) –

            Specifies where in a web request to look for snippets of malicious SQL code.

            • Type (string) –

              The part of the web request that you want AWS WAF to search for a specified string. Parts of a request that you can search include the following:

              • HEADER: A specified request header, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header. If you choose HEADER for the type, specify the name of the header in Data.

              • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicated the type of operation that the request is asking the origin to perform. Amazon CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

              • QUERY_STRING: A query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character, if any.

              • URI: The part of a web request 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 rather than inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF will inspect all parameters within the query for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

            • Data (string) –

              When the value of Type is HEADER, enter the name of the header that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, User-Agent or Referer. The name of the header is not case sensitive.

              When the value of Type is SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, enter the name of the parameter that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, UserName or SalesRegion. The parameter name is not case sensitive.

              If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data.

          • TextTransformation (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.

    • ChangeToken (string) –

      The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

Examples

The following example creates a SQL injection match set named MySQLInjectionMatchSet.
