[FEATURE] AI/ML-Based WAF Detection Plugin

[SonNgo2211]

What's needed and why?

Hello BunkerWeb team,

I would like to propose an idea and ask for your opinion regarding a potential new feature for BunkerWeb: an AI/Machine-Learning–based detection plugin, similar to the OWASP Core Rule Set – Machine Learning Integration Plugin

This would allow BunkerWeb to enhance its WAF detection capabilities using a machine-learning model alongside the existing rule-based engine. Modern WAFs (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, AWS WAF, etc.) increasingly rely on ML models to detect zero-day attack payloads. I believe BunkerWeb could greatly benefit from offering an optional AI/ML plugin that integrates into the existing plugin system.

Hi @SonNgo2211, this idea indeed has been asked multiple times. This is gonna be our main focus for the 2026 roadmap.

Thanks @TheophileDiot, it would be great to have both Free and PRO versions for research and business users.
