Description

DansGuardian contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to bypass filtering. The issue is due to the proxy not properly processing URLs that contain certain hexadecimal encodings. With a properly crafted URL, the filter will not recognize the request and allow it to pass, effectively bypassing any restrictions or rules in place.
