Hey @Praveen_Kumar_Reddy, let me investigate this! :mag:

I checked all our settings, and it doesn’t seem to be an issue with our settings or Discourse.

A few questions?

  • Are you using a VPN or firewall?

  • Does the same error happen if you remove the code snippet in the reply?

Hi @miamoore ,

Previously I have used VPN, I have disconnected it and tried to reply, It gave me the same error

Now I have tried removing the code snippet, It works fine

What would be the issue with code snippet causing me 403 error :thinking:

Thanks for the information! It’s super weird, right?

I found some posts from Discourse users with the same issue, I think it might be our WAF on our installation thinking the code is an injection attack.

I’m going to talk to our IT department and report back :slight_smile:

Hi again!

IT changed some of our firewall rules to try and solve this. It’s complex so we’re not exactly sure which part would make this behavior happen. It’s been a while, so you may not have the code snippet you tried last time, but if you do, can you try posting it again and let me know how it goes?

Hi @miamoore ,

I do have the backup of the reply stored along with code snippet and tried to edit the previous reply
It’s working now with out throwing 403 error

Thank you for investigating and fixing the issue
