09/07/2022, 6:54 PMDo you have any web application firewalls (like fuseguard, or AWS WAF, or something along those lines) that are in place to protect your application from attacks? These can respond with 403 errors if the user is triggering one of the rules.

09/07/2022, 7:02 PMif you don't have a web aplication firewall, it might be helpful to know what version of CF you are on, what version of what webserver you are using, and if you have made any updates to either of those lately.
