Issue with AWAF Blocking Compressed Files Despite Wildcard Inclusion

I am encountering an issue where AWAF blocks compressed file extensions such as zip and rar, even though they are already included in the wildcard settings. When a user attempts to upload these files, AWAF generates a Support ID, instructing me to add the parameter s_SweFileName in the form data.


After adding the s_SweFileName parameter, AWAF permits the upload of all file types, regardless of whether they are listed in the wildcard or not. This behavior is problematic as it bypasses the intended security restrictions.

I am looking for a solution that allows zip and rar files while maintaining control over other file types. 

 

Please advise.
