Description
hello,
I noticed that there was an added quotation mark in the modsec_audit logs, at least in the JSON version, in the producer->components section
"producer": {
"components": [
"OWASP_CRS/4.21.0-dev\""
],
"connector": "ModSecurity-nginx v1.0.4",
"modsecurity": "ModSecurity v3.0.14 (Linux)",
"secrules_engine": "Enabled"
},
this also happens when we add some components using
SecComponentSignature "hello/world"
regards
