Global Configuration - WAF ERROR

Post by dvinatsella » Mon Nov 12, 2018 12:00 pm

Hi all,

I need your help.

When trying to change mail settings in Global Configuration, I keep getting this error:

"The transfer has triggered a Web Application Firewall.

This transfer is blocked."

Please note that I have no admin tools installed.

Joomla! Version Joomla! 3.6.5 Stable [ Noether ] 1-December-2016 22:46 GMT

Thank you in advance for your help.

Does the message come from another security extension, some security tool run by your host or an anti virus product?

Joomla 3.6.5 was released two years ago and a number of security updates have been released. It would be worth considering to update the third party extensions and Joomla.
