MWB Exploit alert explaination

[JBNippy57]

Hi

My MWB management server has emailed over a notice about an exploit on a client.. but I can't see particularly what it was unhappy about.

The user was trying to use IE to navigate to a URL we use each month.. the user didn't log into the website behind the URL and closed the browser.

Could someone tell me what the anti-exploit took exception to? Below is message and attached are the MWB Server log for that client; certain details redacted..

Hello JBNippy57,

 

I do apologize about the delay in this. Unfortunately the block on the server side in particular does not give as much information. It looks like it is being blocked by one of our first layers of protection so it could be a few things causing it. We will unfortunately need the logs collected using these instructions:
