September 15th, 2026
- The
x00–x15blocked paths now only match hex escapes (\x00–\x15). A 404 on an ordinary file with dimensions in its name, likehero-1920x1080.jpgor theapple-touch-icon-120x120.pngiPhones request on their own, no longer bans the visitor. - Blocked paths are also checked against the URL-decoded path, so
%5Cx00and%2Eenvmatch. - If you published the config, add the backslash to the
x00–x15entries.
