Severity: 3-Major
JSON parser's character set does not include support for UTF-8 characters and that can result in 'Malformed JSON data' violation when processing requests containing those characters in JSON data.
Requests are blocked.
Requests contain unsupported UTF-8 characters, such as emoji characters, in JSON payload.
The System Variable 'relax_unicode_in_json' can be utilized to ignore what JSON identifies as malformed characters when it encounters such unsupported characters. (1) Enable 'relax_unicode_in_json' through CLI: # /usr/share/ts/bin/add_del_internal add relax_unicode_in_json 1 (2) Restart ASM to ensure changes take effect: # bigstart restart asm
