Bad character in blocked list

    Hello.

    While adding some blocking rules, I’ve checked my .htaccess file. At a lot of places I’ve found the symbol ” ‵ “. The effect of it is that it blocks EVERYTHING afterwards i.e instead of normal “black” text I see “red” (inactive) text. To my opinion, that means that everything after first ” ‵ ” won’t be readable and thus ineffective (like cache rules, rewrite rules and so on). Am I right?

    Hi,

    While adding some blocking rules

    What blocking rules did you add? And did you enable any of the features in the plugin to add these rules?\

    Thank you

    ADVANCED_CHAR_STRING_FILTER, 5G/6G:[QUERY STRINGS] and 5G/6G:[REQUEST STRINGS].

    If I remove the coresponding lines/character only from the .htaccess, after some time it’s updated and they are back. So, for now, I’ve edited “all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/classes/wp-security-utility-htaccess.php” and:

    
Line 804: Removed RedirectMatch 403 \`
line 905: Changed to RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\\\|\.\./|=\'$|=%27$) [NC,OR]
Line 1008: Changed to RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\\|\.\.\.|\.\./|~|<|>|\|) [NC,OR]
Line 1036: RedirectMatch 403 (?i)(~|<|>|:|;|,|%|\\|\s|\{|\}|\[|\]|\|)

    P.S.: To post the sign here I use the numeric value for the character “&-#-0-9-6-;” (without the dashes ofcourse ?? ). Not sure if this will work in .htaccess.

    Hi, did you enable the following feature?

    Enable 6G Firewall Protection:

    If you did, did this cause an issue? If it did, did you enable and used Custom Rules tab for your custom code?

    The same applies for the following features.

    ADVANCED_CHAR_STRING_FILTER

    If you did, did this cause an issue? If it did, did you enable and used Custom Rules tab for your custom code?

    I have enabled 6G Firewall Protection and ADVANCED_CHAR_STRING_FILTER

    I don’t have any custom rules added within your plugin. But I have other rules in .htaccess – general rewrite rules and W3 Total Cache rules which are after your plugin rules.

    After the changes described in my previous post everything is OK.
