Upgraded to v5.0.4, but now hangs on Heartbleed scan

I want to confirm that I’m also having this issue on one of my sites after upgrading. I didn’t previously have a problem, but it now hangs on the new Heartbleed scan.

just upgraded Wordfence on 2 sites and they have this problem also.

To update – I have 9 WordPress sites. Once this happened on the first site, I tested the scan before and after upgrading to WordFence: All sites are running WP version 3.9; On 7 of the sites, the scans ran just fine before the WordFence upgrade, but after the upgrade they are hanging on the new Heartbleed scan; On 2 of the sites, everything is fine. I use the same theme on all of them and mostly the same plugins. But I thought maybe it was a plugin so compared the sites and can’t find a trend. The one site that I use SSL for is fine – WordFence ran the scan. I really like this plugin and hope there is a fix for this!

Same here… And I run more than 30 websites. All with the same problem since the upgrade to 5.0.4
WP version is 3.9 on all sites

I’m having the same issue. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that doesn’t work.

disable the Heartbleed scan in the Wordfence options

Coriander,

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn’t realize the option to disable the Heartbleed scan was there. That enabled my scan to run normally.

Yes, thank you for the tip! Unchecking the option allowed my scans to get past that point, but they were hanging/not completing. I followed all of the tips provided by WordFence for addressing that issue, and all seem to be working now.

Bingo, disabled scan for heartbleed and voila it now works, methinks a bug maybe in that portion of scan?

Hope they fix this soon, I’d like the peace of mind to know the heartbleed portion of the scan is working.

Hi there,

I’m interested in working with a few users to try and find out why this is hanging. Please email your site URL to [email protected] with a link to this forum post and the subject line “heartbleed scan hangs”.

We’ll do the scan manually in our lab and figure out why it’s getting stuck.

Regards,

Mark.

Have emailed as you requested.

Have emailed as requested. We have not upgraded WP to 3.9 yet, but are current on WF. Will disable scan option so the rest of the scan is run.
Thank you.

This issue is now fixed. No need to upgrade, the fix was on our scanning servers.

Regards,

Mark.
