 * Hello, I am getting a security (stop) error when attempting to change a setting
   on a plugin in my WP dashboard, logged in as the administrator.

    We’re sorry, you are not allowed to proceed Your request looks
   suspiciously similar to automated requests from spam posting software or it has
   been denied by a security policy configured by the website administrator.
 * If you believe you should be able to perform this request, please let us know.

 * Hello,
    Since today I also have the problem on all my pages with WP_Cerber. I
   think I have to delete the plugin everywhere, because at the moment it causes
   more problems than it helps. What a pity. Best greetings from Calau

 * Hello,
 * Is that an official reply?
 * I only had this error with one page and only within the admin dashboard. Since
   then I have gone through all my plugins, removing the one I was having that error
   with and another that was affecting the new site-health-check. Since removing
   the two offending plugins things seems to be working fine (not recieving that
   error.) It seems plugin compatibility is a weak point with WordPress. Keep them
   updated or remove/replace them if they are not tested with your WP version, is
   my suggestion.
 * Best,
