Operating system: Debian
OS version: 9
attempting to update a wordpress on virtual server and i get the following error…(individual plugins also fail to update as well)
Update WordPress
Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.7.2-new-bundled.zip…
The authenticity of wordpress-5.7.2-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.
Unpacking the update…
Could not create directory.
Installation failed.
The most recent virtual server error immediately after i try to run automatic wordpress update is as follows:
[Sat Jun 26 10:06:09.823147 2021] [:error] [pid 17096:tid 140560237025024] [client 180.149.125.175:25979] [client 180.149.125.175] ModSecurity: Warning. Pattern match “[1]+$” at REQUEST_HEADERS:Host.

I dont even know what this log file error means for problem solving the wordpress core auto update issue
EDIT
I changed setting in mod security such that
SecRuleEngine DetectionOnly
restarted apache
still get the same error when i try to run wordpress core updates.
