Unable to block image file upload in Chrome

Technical Articles ID: KB93364
Last Modified: 12/22/2021

Environment

McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint - all supported versions

For details of DLP Endpoint supported environments, see KB68147.

Problem

The Web Protection Block rule does not block the upload of an image to a website when using Chrome. But, it is blocked when using Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Cause

During a post action, DLP Endpoint can only analyze and restrict the text information in the Chrome browser. Any image upload is not blocked. This limitation is according to product design.
