URL safe for LiveGrid but blocked by the Web protection


cyb

Recommended Posts

I am using ESET PROTECT and ESET Endpoint.

One URL is blocked by the Web protection module (PUA blacklist) but is declared « Safe » by LiveGrid: is there a way to make the Web protection use LiveGrid's reputation?

I am getting a few false positive like this one over the organization and if I could avoid such errors by trusting LiveGrid it would be great.

The detection details follows (emphasis mine):

It appears that Chrome (clean app) attempted to open a PUA website.  What is the url that was blocked? LiveGrid has reputation of files, not urls.

I can't really publicly share the URL (can do privately though).

What actually happened is that Chrome attempted a GET on an URL which contains (in the query string) an URL which ESET think is bad.

OK, so the display of LiveGrid reputation on the detection details window is misleading.

As a I said, I know theses URLs are seen as potentially bad (but I don't know why) but I think they are false-positive, and I thought I could use LiveGrid to avoid blocking for some of theses.

Thanks. Since malware has been removed from the website, we have unblocked it. Also I've asked the product manager to consider labeling the LiveGrid part "Process details" to make it clear that LiveGrid info pertain to the process that accessed the url.
