We use a backend module called 'Better Frontend Login' that has URL to the frontend. Some of these URL's contains:

?lang=*

These frontend URL's are blocked by Admin Tools as 'Suspicious Core Parameter'.

Why is this suspicious?

Is there a way to exclude this specific parameter from Admin Tools so it won't be blocked?

Hello,

we're aware of this issue and it has already been fixed in the next version. For the moment you can disable the feature Suspicious Core Parameters inside the Configure WAF page.
