Looking at the various posts related to this and I can say this is still a serious problem. I currently have CWP installed on a bare metal server with over 100 different users for the many clients I have. I've had this issue with saving anything in the backend of October. I recent example was this

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>403 Forbidden</title> </head><body> <h1>Forbidden</h1> <p>You don't have permission to access /~grins/ent-dev/cms on this server.<br /> </p> </body></html>

I am able to successfully save when I disable mod_security for the entire server, but not each individual account's mod_security config file. I don't know why this issue hasn't been resolved considering its been reported for over 4 years. Frankly, I can not disable mod_security. Until there's a fix I'm stuck with Wordpress' bloated crap. Can someone address this?

I ran into the same issue from one day to another. I can write some files, other files I get the error.

Anyone an idea, how to bring it back, with mod-security?

The ModSecurity rules can be too strict by default. One thing to try is adding this to your .htaccess file:

<ifmodule mod_security.c="">
SecFilterEngine Off
</ifmodule>
