PrestaShop WAF for SQLi and XSS probes
Inspect front-office requests for SQL injection and XSS-style patterns, log attacks, and temporarily lock abusive IPs from the PrestaShop Security Engine WAF.
Why a PrestaShop-aware WAF helps
Public PrestaShop endpoints receive constant automated probes. A Web Application Firewall that sits with your shop can catch many SQLi/XSS-style payloads early, reduce noise in application logs, and give merchants a readable attack history.
What the WAF does
- Inspects front-office input for common injection and script patterns
- Records attack events for investigation
- Can temporarily lock IPs that repeatedly trip protections
- Surfaces activity on the security dashboard alongside other signals
Tuning without going blind
If a payment callback or marketing integration is blocked, inspect the logged pattern and refine carefully. Turning the WAF off permanently to “fix one issue” removes a useful layer. Pair WAF with hosting firewall rules and keep employee access hardened separately via brute-force protection and 2FA.
