OWASP WAF Naxsi bypass Vulnerability
Certain unspecified input is not properly handled in
naxsi_src/naxsi_utils.c naxsi_unescape_uri(u_char **dst, u_char **src,
size_t size, ngx_uint_t type) before being used to filtered. This can
be exploited to bypass some WAF rules.

It happens like that,the naxsi_unescape_uri function process the % url
decode,if the next char after the % is a hex char and not after the
hex char,then it will drop the % and the next char.So if we input a
sql keyword "s%elect",it will come to "slect" instead,this is not the
standard url decode way.Such as the IIS asp,it will process the
"s%elect" as a result of "select",so we can bypass some
WAF rules just like that.
I afford a standard url decode function patch as the follow to fix this issue:
void

sw_quoted,
sw_quoted_second
} state;
d = *dst;
s = *src;
state = 0;
decoded = 0;
while (size--) {
ch = *s++;
switch (state) {
case sw_usual:
if (ch == '?'
&& (type & (NGX_UNESCAPE_URI|NGX_UNESCAPE_REDIRECT)))

*d++ = ch;

if (ch == '%'&&size>1) {
