F5-ASM problem with encrypted file "obrar.cgi"

Hi

 

I face a problem with a specific encrypted file "obrar.cgi" because ASM gives violation of "Illegal meta character in value, Illegal meta character in value, Illegal query string length" How can I stop this violation for all security policies in one step?

 

thanks

    All these violations are irrelevant to a file upload. It looks like the parameter used for File Upload is set as a default value in he policy (or not defined at all) hence you are getting these violations. If you change the Parameter Type to File Upload it will resolve your problem, here is some guidance: https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/file-uploads-and-asm

     

    Hope this helps,
