A rule in generic_attacks gives me:

This is a POST to a perl CGI program with about 2k of post data. I have spent
the better part of a day trying to figure out what pattern is being matched
without any luck, so I had to disable the rule. Sadly, I am now subject
to command injection attacks. This is a false positive.
Note that the log message specifies [data "cd/"]. That pattern does not
appear in any arguments.
