When performing a scan, the process terminates with error: "Scan Aborted: lexical error: invalid char in json text."
Your environment
Version of WPScan: 3.8.22
Version of Ruby: 3.0.3p157
Operating System (OS): Kali
Steps to reproduce
It happens when I scan a specific website. The website is known to have been compromised. I don't want to publicly disclose the URL of the website, so please contact me privately.
Expected behavior
The scan is expected to complete normally.
Actual behavior
The scan terminates with error: "Scan Aborted: lexical error: invalid char in json text."
It looks like this was caused by an invalid response from the WPScan API. If this is the case, I imagine it was a temporary issue. Are you able to re-test on the latest version and see whether the issue is still occurring?

What have you already tried
I tried to peform the scan from a clean OS, with a fresh installation of wpscan and ruby. The result is the same.
Scanning other WPs works fine.
