Hi Sneha Yada,

I tried the same interface setup in my environment (with ../ and <script> entered in a text field), but I’m not getting redirected or seeing any error like “Access Denied.” Here’s what I’ve found:

Appian's security filters like Web Application Firewall /XSS protection they trigger only when potentially harmful input is used in sensitive functions (e.g., file paths, safe links, or document references).
The environment also matters-some environments like hardened production instances may have stricter WAF rules enabled,Extra logging or redirection layers,Older hotfixes/patches where certain bugs still exist.
