Illegal meta character in value
Security -> Application Security -> Parameters -> Character Set -> Parameter Value -> Select "meta characters only" -> Disallow/Allow individual meta characters as needed
To find out which meta characters are causing the violations, you must check your ASM request/blocking logs.

Provide them the full request log for an investigation. They can pick the solution they prefer themselves. One option is to allow the conflicting meta-character to exist in parameter value. This solution is applicable if they conclude there's no chance the request could be malicious.
