Site scans failing due to certificate – multiple sites

  • Anyone else getting notifications that the site scan failed due to a bad SSL certificate?

    We’ve received this notice from at least 6 sites we manage today. All on different servers, all with valid SSL certs.

    Methinks a bug in iThemes, or an expired cert on their end.

  • I am receiving the same error on my sites too. I host through Kinsta and there are no issues with my SSL certs. Kinsta support said, “As we can verify that the SSL is valid on your domain, it may be best to check this further with iThemes Security’s end.”

    Yes, I experienced the exact same error on 2021-12-29 22:16:30 GMT

    This was an automated scan. A manual one performed two hours later still produced the same error. But the automated scan this morning (10 hours later) ran correctly. Maybe someone from iThemes can jump in and let us know what’s up?

    I am having similar issues, in fact the upgraded version appears to be playing up with cURL or at least giving false positives about the SSL certificate. Please fix asap, it’s causing all my sites havoc.
