The upload of insecure snapshots has been disabled per default, because those snapshots represent a security risk if their content were modified willingly or unwillingly. Insecure snapshots are all legacy snapshots and snapshots of the newer type, but with an invalid checksum.

You can re-enable the upload of insecure snapshots via the new global setting
Configuration GUI (WATO) -> Allow upload of insecure WATO snapshots
