Do not use the leftmost X-Forwarded-For entry as the client ID.

A reverse proxy appends the peer address to the existing X-Forwarded-For value. The leftmost entry is therefore always the value that the client sent. This is true even behind a trusted proxy. With TrustForwardedHeader = true, any client can send X-Forwarded-For: <any value> and control clientId. This causes three problems:

  • ShieldMiddleware checks AllowedIps first, at Line 30 of that file. A client that sends an allowlisted value skips all evaluation, including lockdown and BlockedIps.
  • Per-client counters (rate, signature, auth failures, 404 probes) can be reset with a new value on each request.
  • Every incident reason contains a client ID that the attacker chose.

Select the address by trusted hop count from the right end of the header. Default the count to 1. Treat 0 as 1. If the header has fewer entries than the count, use RemoteIpAddress. Update the TrustForwardedHeader documentation in ShieldOptions.cs (Lines 138-143) to match.

Based on learnings: "do not blindly trust the leftmost or rightmost entry. Instead, use a configurable 'trusted proxy hops' count to pick the correct address counting from the right".

Review comment at @src/Plugins/Solutions/Shield/Detection/ClientIdResolver.cs
around lines 17 - 23:
Update ClientIdResolver.Resolve to select the forwarded address by a
configurable trusted-proxy hop count from the right, treating counts below one
as one and falling back to RemoteIpAddress when the header has too few entries.
Update ShieldOptions.TrustForwardedHeader documentation to describe this
behavior.
