    When I try to upload a PDF in the media library, Cerber prevents the upload
    In Traffic Inspector the log says vulnerable code detected, upload denied
    Why is a PDF vulnerable code ?

    A PDF file can contain malicious code (e.g. JavaScript). Do not use your front-end to upload such files, upload files via the Media Library instead.

    Thats exactly what I tried to do.
    In WP Admin Page, I navigate to Media Library and there I click on Add File
    Then Cerber prevents the upload of the pdf, no matter if I use the wordpress upload or the browser upload method of the media library.

    Last month it was working, now it is blocking pdf uploads.

    Why is this marked as resolved ? It is still not working ?
    I can not upload any PDF vie Media Library because Cerber is blocking the upload.
    What informations do you need to check this bug ?

    My only solution was to deactivate Cerber completely for the upload, which is definitely not a good idea.
    Could I provide any logs or information to you to solve this bug ?
    Now I added /wp-admin/async-upload.php and /wp-admin/media-new.php to the traffic inspector whitelist and it works again.
