Summary

PR #94 widened IPCIDR's prefix range to /0-/128 to support both IPv4 and IPv6, but the grammar didn't distinguish between the two address families — an IPv4 address like 8.8.8.0/33 would incorrectly parse as valid.

This follows up on that merged PR (addressing the coderabbit review comments it received after merge) by branching the regex on the presence of ::

  • Addresses containing : (IPv6) accept /0-/128
  • Addresses without : (IPv4, dots only) accept /0-/32

Also switched test_collection_cidr's zip() to strict=True so a mismatch between the number of parsed rules and expected values fails loudly instead of silently truncating.

  • IPCIDR grammar: rejects invalid prefixes like 8.8.8.0/33 and 2001:db8::1/129 (parse error) while still accepting the full valid range for each family.
  • Tests: added test_collection_cidr_rejects_invalid_prefix covering both rejection cases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • CIDR prefix validation now applies the correct limits for each address type: IPv4 accepts prefixes from /0 to /32, and IPv6 accepts /0 to /128.
    • Invalid prefixes, such as IPv4 /33 or IPv6 /129, are now rejected with parsing errors.

The IPCIDR grammar previously accepted any 0-128 prefix regardless of
address family, so an IPv4 address like 8.8.8.0/33 would parse
successfully. Branch the regex on the presence of ':' to cap IPv4
prefixes at /32 and IPv6 at /128, and add tests for both rejections
plus a strict zip() to catch rule count mismatches.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The IPCIDR grammar now applies different prefix limits to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. API tests check rejection of out-of-range prefixes and use strict pairing for CIDR assertions.

CIDR Prefix Validation

CIDR prefix rules and tests
src/secrules_parsing/model/secrules.tx, tests/test_api.py
The grammar limits IPv4 prefixes to /0–/32 and IPv6 prefixes to /0–/128. Tests check invalid prefixes and use strict zip iteration for CIDR assertions.

The change is covered by this repository’s tests, but downstream syntax CI will not validate it. No current CRS rules use the affected syntax, so the remaining validation gap is limited.

Full details: Ai Contribution Disclosure

Explanation

The PR body lacks the required lowercase ## ai disclosure, ## what, ## why, and ## refs sections. It includes the AI-tool signature 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code], which the policy requires reviewers to flag. The reviewed diff contains non-trivial grammar and test changes, including a new test docstring, so this is not a trivial PR exempt from disclosure.

Resolution

Add the required lowercase ## ai disclosure, ## what, ## why, and ## refs sections. In ## ai disclosure, state the concrete model name and version under **tools used**, the exact generated work under **assisted with**, and concrete verification under **review performed**. Remove the Generated with [Claude Code] signature line and any other AI attribution trailer.

Update the downstream syntax-CI pin when this fix is released.

coreruleset/coreruleset pins secrules-parsing to 0.4.0, so its syntax job does not test the CIDR-prefix change in the 0.4.1 release. Update the pin if downstream CI is expected to validate this grammar change.
