I could not find any decent tricks, but there is a possible way to use the `Permalink normalizations` setting.

You could do, for example:

 ![This image shows an example of a monitored entry/export request involving game stats, specifically normalizations and permalinks. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/e/0/0e01f52910c1eafddacf248e85f9e78546992967.png)

`/security\/advisories\/[aA][dD][vV]-(\d+-\d+)/s-adv-\1`

It transforms  
`security/advisories/ADV-2024-003`  
`security/advisories/adv-2024-003`  
`security/advisories/aDv-2024-003`  
…  
 → `s-adv-2024-003`

Then, you create a redirect with it:

Would it work for you?
