x-crs-version takes the aliases v4-lts (default), v3-lts and latest; the page documented latest as the default and semver values such as 3.3.9 or 4.25.0, which the sandbox answers with a 400. Also document x-crs-detection-paranoia-level, json-report, the /backends discovery endpoint, the X-CRS-Version response header, the HTML report browsers get by default, the sandbox-edge error shape, and refresh the backend list, the log pipeline and the examples with current output.

Full details: Owasp Security (Web, Api & Llm)
-
Explanation
PASS — The pull request changes only sandbox documentation. The new CORS text documents an already-public, unauthenticated sandbox and exposes only non-secret request metadata (
x-backend,x-crs-version,x-unique-id); it does not add credentials, authorization bypasses, URL fetching, code execution, dependencies, or infrastructure configuration. The page also warns users not to send personal data, credentials, API keys, or other sensitive information (content/6-development/6-4-using-the-crs-sandbox.md:353-355). No OWASP Web, API, or LLM failure condition is introduced.

Full details: Secrets, Payloads & Pii In Logs
-
Explanation
PASS — The pull request changes one documentation page and does not add a logger, stack trace, telemetry emitter, workflow output, or audit-log rule. The sample responses contain only synthetic CRS payloads such as
/etc/passwd, rule IDs, scores, and a correlation ID. The page explicitly warns users not to send personal data, credentials, API keys, or other sensitive information (content/6-development/6-4-using-the-crs-sandbox.md:353-355). No credential, token, cookie, email, phone number, IP address, or real traffic appears in the changed examples.
Full details: New Dependency Scrutiny
-
Explanation
PASS: The PR changes only
content/6-development/6-4-using-the-crs-sandbox.md. The reviewed diff adds no dependency manifest entry, GitHub Actionsuses:step, or Buildkite plugin reference. The new documentation links and mentions do not trigger this check.
Full details: Install & Build-Time Code Execution
-
Explanation
PASS: The pull request changes only one Markdown documentation file. The added shell snippets use
curlto call the sandbox and do not pipe downloaded content to a shell. No Dockerfile, CI workflow, shell installer, package lifecycle script, Go checksum bypass, Python install hook, Terraform provisioner, or build-time binary download was introduced.
Full details: Renovate: Config Present And Valid

Explanation
The pull request changes only
content/6-development/6-4-using-the-crs-sandbox.md. It does not touchrenovate.json,renovate.json5,.github/renovate.json, or.github/renovate.json5. The repository containsrenovate.json, so the no-config trigger does not apply.

Clarify the blocking-mode header contract.
The table documents omission as the blocking-mode representation, but the later text calls On the default value and says mode values are case insensitive. State whether On is accepted as an x-crs-mode header value or only names the internal SecRuleEngine setting. Keep one consistent contract.

| ## Architecture | ||
|
|
||
| The sandbox consists of various parts. An NLB (Network Load Balancer) sits in front of the frontend and distributes incoming traffic. The frontend that receives the requests runs on OpenResty (Nginx with Lua). It handles the incoming request, selects and configures the backend running CRS based on the request headers, proxies the request to the backend, and waits for the response. Then it parses the WAF audit log and sends the matched rules back in the format chosen by the user. | ||

Describe the complete response representation.
The architecture sentence limits the response to matched rules. The documented default is the full audit log, and browsers receive an HTML report. State that OpenResty returns the selected representation, with the browser-specific HTML behavior.

The "Using the CRS Sandbox" page described a sandbox that no longer exists in places, and a reader who copied its examples got errors.
What was stale
x-crs-version: documented aslatestby default plus "any supported semver version (e.g.3.3.9)", with examples using3.3.9and4.25.0. The sandbox accepts only the aliasesv4-lts(default),v3-ltsandlatest; a version number is answered with400 unsupported x-backend / x-crs-version combination. Three of the six quick-reference examples and the first advanced example failed as written.x-crs-detection-paranoia-level, thejson-reportformat,GET /backends, theX-CRS-Versionresponse header, the HTML report browsers get withoutx-format-output, and thesource: sandbox-edgeshape of edge errors.apache-3_3_8style containers and Filebeat; the services are<engine>-v4-lts,<engine>-v3-lts,<engine>-latestand the logs go to S3 and Elasticsearch through the shared file system.What this does
Rewrites those parts and keeps the rest (audience, basic usage, capacity, privacy, known issues). Every example was run against production on 2026-10-21 and the outputs pasted from the real responses. Adds a short "Discovering what is available" section pointing at
/backendsas the authoritative list, ajson-reportexample, the403= blocked /949110explanation, the go-httpbin mirror behind the WAFs, and a known-issue entry on browsers rewriting URLs before sending.Built locally with Hugo (relearn theme, tabs render), the British-English check passes, and every absolute link answers 200 or 403 (lychee accepts both).
Once coreruleset/website#548 (the
/sandboxplayground page) is live, a one-line follow-up can link it from here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
