Another Security Issue?

Another Security Issue? Well I hope not, so maybe someone can clarify this for me.

I had trouble yesterday with a fresh install of 6.1.4 (posted about here: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/Installation-can-t-register-Ray.htm )

While looking for a cause, I found that the htaccess file in /ray directory contains:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine off
</IfModule>

I am struggling to see why this would be done - as a host we implement mod_security for a reason, yet this htaccess file seems to me to turn it off - potentially lowering security on the server, even if only for this directory.  If there is a need to turn mod_security off for this folder (connected to RMS maybe?) please can someone explain it?

Thank

i am having a problem with ray .htaccess file.

 

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine off
</IfModule>

 

my host keeps disableing the rays directory because of this. which in return blanks out my site. is there another option?

 

when they put my site back up they rem out the .htaccess file then i can no longer upload videos. i change it back and they disable my rays folder again.

 

any fixes for this???

this is just because some security filters doesn't allow to open Ray widgets
