Opened: Sep 25, 2016

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When generating a web scraping attack of session opening anomaly type, there is an attack start/end event shown in the /var/log/asm and GUI: Security :: Event Logs : Application : Web Scraping Statistics. The event has a "source ip" field which should come along with the route domain. In the case of "session opening anomaly" the route domain is always zero. (For example: 127.0.0.1%0). Even there is a non-zero route domain configured.

Impact

Incorrect route domain field is shown in the GUI and /var/log/asm.

Conditions

Route domain is configured and a web scraping attack event triggers.

Workaround

None. This is a cosmetic error. The system uses the correct route domain

Fix Information

The fix is to set the correct route domain for the "session opening anomaly" events shown in the GUI and /var/log/asm
