Attn Moderators - Search function=security risk

[BetramHunter]

I just wanted to give the moderators on this great site a heads up. At my office I am on the IT Security team and we use Websense for Web security filtering. Recently I noticed that the search function on here was being blocked for category "Malicious Web Sites"

I reached out to Websense to make sure this was correct and received the below response:

Thank you for using AceInsight

The site you submitted has been reviewed and determined to pose a security risk. It has been assigned the following category:

hxxp://discussions[.]texasbowhunter.com/forums/search.php – Malicious Web Sites

Categorization updates should be reflected in the next scheduled database publication, and will be available shortly to Real-Time Updates subscribers.


Thank you for your inquiry,

Sincerely,
Forcepoint Labs

That's not good...

[Sackett]

Their response was a "No Response". Have they given you a detailed explanation?

Something tells me they didn't do much more "review" than read a couple dozen flag submissions from a dozen or so PETA nuts.

[Encinal]

They didn't check it. It's just a mistake in their coding.

I can't use the search function either. It's blocked by the security software. I can access everything else.

So that's why you never found the elephant...

[Chew]

Ha. I learned a workaround.

Go to Google and type in what your searching for like this: elephant: texasbowhunter.com

I replied back asking for detailed vulnerabilities. They have escalated it.

Hello,

Your AceInsight submission Case #- hxxp://discussions[.]texasbowhunter.com/forums/search.php has been escalated for further research. Once completed, a Forcepoint Labs Researcher will respond with the results

Thank you for your patience,

[Chew]

Everything's fine and dandy until you get escalated.

What security software is your company using?

Websense

Same here. Websense prohibits the use of the search function as wel as intermittently blocking some other TBH pages. UGH!!
