Hello!
I have problem with default WAF Blacklist rule:


I have custom form on my site, and sometimes after submitting form, user get "403 This request is blocked by Admin Tools. Please change this message in the components options" error.
But most times its OK. I dont know, why sometimes rule apllies, while many times does not.

I "fixed" problem now by disabling this rule, but i rather like to know, what is wrong and how to fix it :-)

I have read admin tools documentation and i realized, it is somehow related to content of POST data when submiting form, but i have no clue what exactly to fix.
There are only text inputs and radiobuttons in my form, and it is using recaptcha2. I am pretty sure there was no "harmful" data when i tested the form and get 403 error.

This is the form i am talking about: http://www.jc-correct.com/czech-language-placement-test

Thanks for help

You can safely disable that WAF Blacklist rule. It is there to defend older versions of Joomla! from a known vulnerability. Your up-to-date Joomla! installation is not vulnerable, so you do not need it.
