Cloudflare blocks the edit of my answer

For a couple of days now I've been trying to edit this answer to include an example that was requested in the comments.

Every time I try to edit it I'm presented with this:

Sorry, you have been blocked - This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

The expanded answer does contain a regex that is supposed to find a malicious request, which I can understand to be interpreted as a "hacking attempt". But I already tried to replace this specific regex with a more basic one, that only attempts to find requests targeting /backup, but I get the same result.

This would be the complete expanded answer: Github gist

Is there anything I can change to accept the edit? Or can the rules be tweaked, as it apparently has been done before?

Try again? I've added some exceptions to CF that should hopefully allow post edits.
