# Update a JsonThreatProtection plugin

`PUT /plugins/{PluginId}#JsonThreatProtection`

Update a JsonThreatProtection plugin

## Request body

- JsonThreatProtectionPlugin — A Plugin entity represents a plugin configuration that will be executed during the HTTP request/response lifecycle. It is how you can add functionalities to Services that run behind Kong, like Authentication or Rate Limiting for example. You can find more information about how to install and what values each plugin takes by visiting the [Kong Hub](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/). When adding a Plugin Configuration to a Service, every request made by a client to that Service will run said Plugin. If a Plugin needs to be tuned to different values for some specific Consumers, you can do so by creating a separate plugin instance that specifies both the Service and the Consumer, through the `service` and `consumer` fields.
  - `created_at` integer, nullable — Unix epoch when the resource was created.
  - `enabled` boolean, nullable — Whether the plugin is applied.
  - `id` string, nullable
  - `instance_name` string, nullable
  - `name` 'json-threat-protection', required — The name of the Plugin that's going to be added. Currently, the Plugin must be installed in every Kong instance separately.

  - `config` object
    - `allow_duplicate_object_entry_name` boolean — Allow or disallow duplicate object entry name.
    - `enforcement_mode` 'block' | 'log_only' — Enforcement mode of the security policy.
    - `error_message` string — The response message when validation fails
    - `error_status_code` integer — The response status code when validation fails.
    - `max_array_element_count` integer — Max number of elements in an array. -1 means unlimited.
    - `max_body_size` integer — Max size of the request body. -1 means unlimited.
    - `max_container_depth` integer — Max nested depth of objects and arrays. -1 means unlimited.

    - `max_string_value_length` integer — Max string value length. -1 means unlimited.
  - `protocols` string[] — A set of strings representing HTTP protocols.
  - `route` object — If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via the specified route. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the route being used.
    - `id` string
  - `service` object — If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via one of the routes belonging to the specified Service. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the Service being matched.
