Helix Ultimate 2.2.9 Bug Invalid Path In Windows OS
Alvaro
If you have a Windows operating system and want to select an image in Helix, and you need to access a folder to do so, you'll see the following message: "The most recent request was denied because it had an invalid security token. Please refresh the page and try again." While the problem appears to be the security token, our investigation revealed the issue to be "Invalid media path." This led us to helper.php, specifically to the resolveMediaPath method on line 957, which contains:
if ($fullPath === $allowedPath || strpos($fullPath, $allowedPath . '/') === 0) {
To fix this bug, it should be changed to:
if ($fullPath === $allowedPath || strpos($fullPath, $allowedPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) === 0) {
Or, you can implement the same fix found in Media.php using str_replace.
I hope this solution is included in a new version as soon as possible; we Windows lovers are suffering from it. Regards

Accepted AnswerThis issue isn't fixed in version 2.2.10. I told them the file (helper.php) and the method (resolveMediaPath), even the line to modify and how to fix it, although you might have had better solutions, but the goal was to find a solution.
I had told the clients that I had already reported the bug and provided a temporary fix by patching their files, and now they're reporting that it no longer works after updating.
Those who work on Windows, please fix this.
