I have a local IP that was apparently banned. I would like to whitelist it. The subnet is already in my /etc/modsecurity/modsecurity.conf
file:
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "@ipMatch 192.168.0.0/19" "id:20190108,phase:2,pass,nolog,allow,ctl:ruleEngine=Off"
I have no idea which other rule is banning an IP, though. In /var/log/apache2/modsec_audit.log
, I see:
[Mon Feb 01 12:31:34.627591 2021] [evasive20:error] [pid 29339] [client 192.168.2.59:55696] client denied by server configuration: proxy:balancer://ssl.somedomain.com/images/SomeLogo.png
And in the apache error log (/var/log/apache2/somedomain.error.log
):

I do not see a rule ID so I can whitelist that IP Address using that number. What am I missing here?
Here is an example of a client caught by a specific rule:

# -- Response body handling --------------------------------------------------

# -- Filesystem configuration ------------------------------------------------
# The location where ModSecurity stores temporary files (for example, when
# it needs to handle a file upload that is larger than the configured limit).
#
# This default setting is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however,
# this is less than ideal. It is recommended that you specify a location that's private.

SecTmpDir /tmp/

# is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however, it
# too should be updated to a place that other users can't access.

SecDataDir /tmp/
# -- File uploads handling configuration -------------------------------------
# The location where ModSecurity stores intercepted uploaded files. This
# location must be private to ModSecurity. You don't want other users on
# the server to access the files, do you?
#
#SecUploadDir /opt/modsecurity/var/upload/
# By default, only keep the files that were determined to be unusual

# will also need at least one file inspection rule.
#
#SecUploadKeepFiles RelevantOnly
# Uploaded files are by default created with permissions that do not allow

# interface ModSecurity to an external program (e.g., an anti-virus).
