Activate Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard – Enable UAEG

[James]

Hi there,
I noticed the new status for UAEG and apparently I have mine turned off.
I can’t for the life of me find where to turn this on, or if I should need it on.
 
My second question relates so some issue’s my client is having.
Apparently when you edit a post/page in the WYSIWYG, that using the ‘Insert/Edit Link’ button within the toolbar no longer functions.
I was wondering if it’s possible that BPS Pro would be blocking the javascript? or perhaps it’s something completely different.

Update:  A new Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard (UAEG) Read Me First Sticky Topic has been created in the link below.

The Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard (UAEG) can be enabled by going to B-Core Security Modes page and scrolling down to…

Activate Uploads Folder htaccess Security Mode

This is typically enabled/activated by default, but there was a period in an earlier version of BulletProof Security Pro where I was advising some folks to turn off/deactivate UAEG due to the .htaccess code being too sophisticated for some Hosts/Servers.  The .htaccess code was dumbed down so that it would work on all Hosts/Servers Worldwide.  And yes you should always be using this Security feature to protect your /uploads folder.

I split your other question and posted it here >>> http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wysiwyg-editor-insertedit-link-not-working/

Hmm, I went there and activated the BulletProof mode for the Activate Uploads Folder htaccess Security Mode and it notified me of a successful protection of the uploads folder.
However the UAEG status message being displayed still says ‘Off’.
Not sure if I did something wrong.
