APP: Websense Proxy Filter Security Bypass
This signature detects attempts to bypass a filtering proxy. Websense Proxy Filter contains a flaw that allows a crafted HTTP request to bypass the proxy. A successful attack would result in a bypass of your organization's proxy, which could allow the exfiltration of sensitive data, or the access of malicious code on a website, normally blocked by the proxy, which could execute arbitrary code on endpoint systems.
