Environment
Product Version: 3.1
Resolution
This happens if F5 detects a vulnerability in the request (we've seen this with false positives) and instead of forwarding it to TAS Cloud Controller, it intercepts it and returns html code explaining that the requested URL was rejected. The service broker throws an error since it doesn't get the expected JSON response (from Cloud Controller) but html code (from F5).
To solve this issue, you would need to contact your F5 admin and share the error and the support ID included in the message with them. They should be able to do the proper config changes to fix it.
If you still think that F5 has detected an actual vulnerability, please open a support ticket and share the details in it.
