Negation on operators not working

[masterdead]

Hi,

iam tried to use negation on operator eg. !@ipmatch, but not work.
If i use this rule
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "!@ipmatch 172.16.71.132" \ "msg:'DENY TEST',\ id:1,\ t:none,\ deny"
but in debug log operator starting without !
[4] (Rule: 1) Executing operator "@ipmatch" with param "172.16.71.132" against REMOTE_ADDR.

And question is, negation is not implemented?

Hi @masterdead,

Sorry for the delay. In fact, the `negation' variation was not enabled to the ipmatch operator. Recent change s on the libModSecurity code (owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity@8757840) enables the negation variation to all the operators.
