Servlet request with pattern < IS( > or < IF( > getting blocked apache/adobe experience manager


We are calling AEM servlets from our frontend code but seeing in PROD environment requests with content like IS(something) or IF(something) is getting blocked. Any idea from where it is getting blocked? Thanks in advance. Example request - https://url.com/bin/project/getval?ref=1234-PUNIS(CARTHAGE)-XYZ


Solution

  • Actually I found the reason of this behavior. There was a Akamai Web Filter configured which was considering this request as a script/ attack. That is why it was blocking it. Just thought of putting it here so that it might help anyone else.
