Hi Peter,

apologies on the delay on this.

In light of being able to scan thoroughly with this tool we took the approach of building the development site again from scratch on a new server – we would however like the site to be protected by wordfence, so on a new install, on a new server (within the same host) we tried to set up Wordfence as a plugin on the new install (the reason the domain was not accessible to you is that it’s a placeholder, but the development is available via an IP Address/subfolder.

We have run into exactly the same issue on a new install, new address, new IP.

The tool runs to the point it gets patterns, and then returns upto half way through the 39th line – this is viewing the URL reported by diagnostics including the API key for get_patterns action.
This JSON returning malformed leads me to believe this is where the error lies.
Not being able to return the full patterns via a browser makes me think there is an issue with the service returning this.
Using a new development and providing a new API key makes me wonder if theres an underlying issue within the system on your end that is providing the patterns.

I’d like to provide the link here for you to test the API Key / Security but that seems counterintuitive from a security of the site standpoint.

Is there anything going on from your end to stop the patterns being returned fully? is there something that would stop me from viewing the URL and getting the entire pattern returned in the browser?

Look forward to your response.

Kind Regards,

Ste
