Modifying a Block Page - Security Best Practices

Overview

You can modify a block page to adapt it to your corporate design and provide additional information on SWG for debugging purposes. This topic helps you in providing some basic guidelines regarding custom block page management.

A low-risk Information disclosure vulnerability CVE-2024-6398 (Security Bulletin) existed in versions earlier than 11.2.24 and 12.2.10 where third-party websites could access the potentially sensitive information contained in the block page. The policy implementations with URL filtering policies and GTI to block uncategorized URLs and non-minimal risk URLs already neutralize the risk.

To secure block pages, it is recommended that you minimize the use of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) while customizing the block pages. Additional information added for debugging purposes should be reviewed and removed after collection of required data. Versions 11.2.24 and 12.2.10 and later include a fix for this issue with an additional configuration setting. A configuration option Serve via redirection is provided in each block page, where enabling this block page option serves the block page as a redirected URL.

NOTE: It is recommended to enable this option if any sensitive information is added to the block pages during customization.

 

Enable Serve via Redirection 

To enable this feature, follow these steps:

  1. Select Policy Rule Sets.
