Opened: Jun 24, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When a URL path contains multiple segments, where each segment belongs to a different URL category, the Webroot URL categorization engine does not store the results correctly and can return the wrong categories for these path segments.

Impact

URL categorization does not categorize all of the segments in the path correctly when the query results in a cloud lookup to the Webroot BrightCloud server.

Conditions

-- URL path contains multiple segments(example: /abc/def/ghi) -- Each segment belongs to a different URL category + abc: News + def: Search_Engine -- URL categorization (Webroot) lookup results in cloud lookup (sending the query to Webroot remote server because of missing match in the local database).

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The system now stores the results of the BrightCloud server lookup correctly and returns the correct categories for each segment in the path.
