Function wafEncode

  • Obfuscates content that's often intercepted by web application firewalls that are scanning for likely SQL or script injection. We have a handful of endpoints that intentionally accept SQL or script, so we encode the text to avoid tripping alarms. It's a simple BASE64 encoding that obscures the content, and lets the WAF scan for and reject malicious content on all other parameters. See Issue 48509.
