Bug ID 2457053: An ASM Policy with IP Intelligence enabled exported in JSON format cannot be imported

Last Modified: Oct 16, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP ASM(all modules)

Fixed In:
21.1.0.3, 17.5.1.10, 17.1.3.6

Opened: Aug 13, 2026

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When an ASM security policy with IP Intelligence enabled is exported in JSON format, the exported policy cannot be imported successfully

Impact

The import failure is associated with the description for the "Tor Proxies" category in the IP Intelligence. This appears to be a regression of Bug 1632385. After the fix for that bug, the exported description for "Tor Proxies" changed from "originator’s" to "originator’s," which is causing the import failure

Conditions

When an ASM security policy with IP Intelligence enabled is exported in JSON format

Workaround

Workaround is to replace originator’s with originator\u00e2\u0080\u0099s and the import will be successful

Fix Information

None
