Comments module -> Link error

[jjnxpct]

Hi!

The links in the module give us this error when clicking them:

403 - We detected that your latest request may have been part of suspicious activity and has been blocked. If you believe you are getting this message in error please let us know through our site's contact form.

An example module link URL:

https://demo4.kerkintranet.nl/gemeentenieuws/test-artikel-ul-voor-de-app?lang=*&akengage_cid=80#akengage-comments-section

This part of the URL is causing this issue: lang=*

When I remove the language parameter from the URL it works fine. Also replacing it with the site language (lang=nl) there is no error.

Is Akeeba Admin tools blocking the URL or is this a server responsible for this? When we click the link a few time our IP gets blocked in Admin Tools.

Kind regards, Jip

In the Admin Tools firewall log the request is flagged as 'Suspicious Core Parameter'.

Yup, in this case the lang parameter should've been omitted. Fixed.
