<note> <p>This is <b>AWS WAF Classic</b> documentation. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/classic-waf-chapter.html">AWS WAF Classic</a> in the developer guide.</p> <p> <b>For the latest version of AWS WAF</b>, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-chapter.html">AWS WAF Developer Guide</a>. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. </p> </note> <p>Inserts or deletes <a>XssMatchTuple</a> objects (filters) in an <a>XssMatchSet</a>. For each <code>XssMatchTuple</code> object, you specify the following values:</p> <ul> <li> <p> <code>Action</code>: Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change an <code>XssMatchTuple</code>, you delete the existing object and add a new one.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>FieldToMatch</code>: The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header or custom query parameter, the name of the header or parameter.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>TextTransformation</code>: Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for cross-site scripting attacks.</p> <p>You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.</p> </li> </ul> <p>You use <code>XssMatchSet</code> objects to specify which CloudFront requests that you want to allow, block, or count. For example, if you're receiving requests that contain cross-site scripting attacks in the request body and you want to block the requests, you can create an <code>XssMatchSet</code> with the applicable settings, and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests. </p> <p>To create and configure an <code>XssMatchSet</code>, perform the following steps:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Submit a <a>CreateXssMatchSet</a> request.</p> </li> <li> <p>Use <a>GetChangeToken</a> to get the change token that you provide in the <code>ChangeToken</code> parameter of an <a>UpdateIPSet</a> request.</p> </li> <li> <p>Submit an <code>UpdateXssMatchSet</code> request to specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks.</p> </li> </ol> <p>For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/">AWS WAF Developer Guide</a>.</p>
