Blocked Background Request
-
I’ve been using wordfence for two years without a problem. But starting today every time I’ve edited a post, Wordfence gives the following warning:
Wordfence Firewall blocked a background request to WordPress for the URL https://www.hypnoticdreams.com…x.php?wpacu_check_external_url. If this occurred as a result of an intentional action, you may consider whitelisting the request to allow it in the future.
In the tools I see this:
… left https://www.hypnoticdreams.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5204&action=edit and was blocked by firewall for XSS: Cross Site Scripting in POST body: wpacu_check_urls=https%3A%2F%2Ffonts.googleapis.com%2Fcss%3Ffamily%3DSource%2BSans%2BPro%3A400%2C300%2C300italic%2C40… at https://www.hypnoticdreams.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?wpacu_check_external_url=
