false blocking by saving a article

Hi,

That rule will block a request that contains something similar to “…grant….on…to” (this is a bit simplified). Can you check whether you have something similar in your text?

What is strange is the fact that you are blocked. If you are logged in as the admin, you should never be blocked by the firewall, unless you disable this feature.

Hi and thanks for your replay!

I wasn′t logged in as admin but as editor for testing!

This is the text:

The updated version of the 5th resolution notably includes one paragraph on the support of affected countries in the identification and clean-up of contaminated sites through the international community. This year, for the first time, Iraq called for the United Nations to grant financial and technological support to states affected by DU contamination. ((ICBUW (2014): https://www.bandepleteduranium.org/en/iraq-calls-for-treaty-ban-on-depleted-uranium (accessed 28/10/2014) )) Furthermore, the resolution contends that information on areas that have been targeted by DU munition has to be made available. This demand has already been an integral part of the 3rd UN resolution on DU weapons in 2010. ((ICBUW (2014): https://www.bandepleteduranium.org/en/new-un-depleted-uranium-resolution-calls-for-clean (accessed 28/10/2014) )) Yet, the US refuses to release information to the Iraqi Government on the areas targeted by DU munitions in the Gulf War (1991) and the Iraq War (2003). This significantly impedes the identification and clearance of DU contamination.

A similar thing yesterday came up with rule 209.

What to do?

Hi,

This is it:

Those bold words, in that order, and the few parenthesis make it looks like a SQL injection attempt (creating a user and granting privileges on a database).

With the free version of NinjaFirewall, you cannot whitelist the editor or other non-admin users.
But you still have a few options though:
1. To disable those rules. Each site is different, and the fact that you may need to disable 1, 2 or 3 rules is not a big issue at all. We offer a lot of rules and options in NinjaFirewall but that does not mean they should all be turned on.
2. To edit your text while you are logged in as admin so that you will be whitelisted.
3. If you have a static IP, you can whitelist it with the help of the .htninja configuration file.

Hi @bhenselmann thanks for posting such a clear report of what was happening for you. Hope you get it sorted.

@nintechnet I’ve been reviewing your support threads, and y’all are really responsive & seem to be able to work to a resolution quickly & clearly ?? which is awesome!

Cheers, Max
