# ModSecurity False Positives?

 * When trying to activate the plugin, ModSecurity seems to be throwing multiple
   red flags.
 * Our Server has WHM version 60.0
    We have the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set 
   enabled ([https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/OWASP+ModSecurity+CRS](https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/OWASP+ModSecurity+CRS))
 * So far, I have disabled the following Rule IDs:
    – 981257: Detects MySQL comment-/
   space-obfuscated injections and backtick termination – 981245: Detects basic 
   SQL authentication bypass attempts 2/3
 * The next one that is being blocked (which I have not disabled yet) is:
    – 981242:
   Detects classic SQL injection probings 1/2
 * I’m going to assume Flow-Flow Social Stream plugin is not intentionally doing
   these actions, but as I’m sure you would agree, I can not disable all these rules
   globally.
 * So this topic is not really about needing help, but more bringing it to your 
   attention.
