LEDES Errors: BF104 - Insecure Content

Overview of the Issue

The error message:
BF104 - "Insecure content."

This error occurs when the file you're attempting to upload contains content flagged as insecure. This may include unsupported formats such as HTML, XML, or other specific syntax like curly braces.

Possible Causes:

• The file contains HTML or XML tags.
• The file includes unsupported elements such as curly braces {}.
• Improperly formatted data may trigger security checks, resulting in the error.

Troubleshooting the Issue

Step 1: Remove Unsupported Content

• Review the file for any insecure content, such as HTML tags, XML syntax, or curly braces {}.
• Ensure all content is in plain text and follows the appropriate format without special characters or unsupported code.

Tip: Open the file in a text editor and search for any instances of <, >, {, or } to identify problematic content.

How to Fix

Step 1: Remove Unsupported Syntax

• Delete any HTML tags, XML code, or curly braces from the file.
• Ensure that the file adheres to the required plain-text format without any special markup.

Step 2: Re-upload the Corrected File

• Once the file is free of insecure content, re-upload it to the system.
