AWS::WAFv2::WebACL SizeConstraintStatement - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AWS::WAFv2::WebACL SizeConstraintStatement

A rule statement that compares a number of bytes against the size of a request component, using a comparison operator, such as greater than (>) or less than (<). For example, you can use a size constraint statement to look for query strings that are longer than 100 bytes.

If you configure Amazon WAF to inspect the request body, Amazon WAF inspects only the number of bytes in the body up to the limit for the web ACL and protected resource type. If you know that the request body for your web requests should never exceed the inspection limit, you can use a size constraint statement to block requests that have a larger request body size. For more information about the inspection limits, see Body and JsonBody settings for the FieldToMatch data type.

If you choose URI for the value of Part of the request to filter on, the slash (/) in the URI counts as one character. For example, the URI /logo.jpg is nine characters long.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "ComparisonOperator" : String, "FieldToMatch" : FieldToMatch, "Size" : Number, "TextTransformations" : [ TextTransformation, ... ] }

Properties

ComparisonOperator

The operator to use to compare the request part to the size setting.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Allowed values: EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT

Update requires: No interruption

FieldToMatch

The part of the web request that you want Amazon WAF to inspect.

Required: Yes

Type: FieldToMatch

Update requires: No interruption

Size

The size, in byte, to compare to the request part, after any transformations.

Required: Yes

Type: Number

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 21474836480

Update requires: No interruption

TextTransformations

Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass detection. If you specify one or more transformations in a rule statement, Amazon WAF performs all transformations on the content of the request component identified by FieldToMatch, starting from the lowest priority setting, before inspecting the content for a match.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of TextTransformation

Minimum: 1

Update requires: No interruption
