Full details: Owasp Security (Web, Api & Llm)Explanation The PR adds two third-party plugins to the registry at Resolution Before making these third-party plugins available through the installable registry, pin each to an immutable release or commit and require downstream tooling to verify a trusted signature or checksum before installation. Add the required integrity metadata and validation to the registry schema and consumer workflow, or keep the entries unavailable until verification is supported.

Regenerated README.md and registry.json from registry.yaml per the drift check (run 7). Workflow runs on the two follow-up commits are awaiting approval. |

I just saw #40 also requests 9,530,000-9,530,999 (for n8n). Happy to move to 9,531,000-9,531,999 or whatever the next free block is, just let me know. the plugin's IDs are a constant offset from the block base, so renumbering is mechanical. |

I suggest to split this into two plugins:
|
Thought more about it. I also see a similar pattern for the WordPress plugin. I'm gonna go ahead and split it. |
|
I'd expect a hardening plugin specifically for plex would work out of the box without any false positives, or make certain hardening options configurable i.e restricting an plex admin panel to only trusted IPs or similar. You can of course bundle both the rule-exclusions and hardening together, it is your plugin after all but in that case, I'd suggest splitting the plugin files based on rule-exclusions and hardening rules for better readability. |
|
Two people telling me to split it up is good enough for me. I have a work in progress split version running locally. i've also added in the config conf a place to specify exception IPs for the admin endpoints, that makes sense. i plan to have an update out this week. |
|
Split done, the plugin is now two repos: plex-rule-exclusions-plugin (9,530,000–9,530,999) The exclusions plugin works standalone for anyone who just wants Plex behind CRS. |
updated for split

- Around line 353-354: Regenerate registry.json and the README registry table
from registry.yaml so plex-rule-exclusions-plugin is included and the
9530000–9530999 range is assigned to it rather than plex-hardening-plugin.

@davidscarth I get a 404 when I click on the rule-exclusions plugin, did you forget to make it public? |
I forgot the "s" in exclusions. Fixed the link in the first post. |

what
Registers two plugins in consecutive blocks, and adds the regenerated README.md and registry.json:
why
Plex Media Server behind CRS 4.x, split per review:
The two use the same layout by ID suffix (exclusions 1xx, detection 2xx-3xx, denies 4xx), so they could be merged back into one plugin without renumbering.
Both are green on the shared plugin workflows (Apache + ModSecurity 2, nginx + ModSecurity 3, CRS main and LTS) and run on Coraza in production.

ai disclosure
tools used: Claude (Anthropic), Fable 5.1, via claude.ai.
assisted with: converting my existing production rules into the plugin file structure, drafting rule comments, tests, diagnosing a Coraza-on-Windows transform issue in the endpoint denies, and cross-checking the rules against the Plex OpenAPI spec.
review performed: every rule was deployed and exercised against live Plex clients (Plex Web, Windows, Android TV, Android mobile); exclusion test payloads were checked against the CRS 4.29.0 regexes (and run with 4.30.0 on 10/3); the registry entry and regenerated files were produced per the drift-check output.
