Pedantic typo Scan rather than Update in error message
Before submitting an issue, please make sure you fully read any potential error messages output and did some research on your own.
Subject of the issue
The app gives an error of "Scan Aborted" rather then "Update Aborted" when the update can't connect to the update server.
Your environment
- Version of WPScan: Just update the gem
- Version of Ruby: 2.?
- Operating System (OS): DOS 3.1
Steps to reproduce
Run a database update when the app can't connect to the server.
Expected behaviour
The message should say "Update Aborted"
Actual behaviour
[i] Updating the Database ...
Scan Aborted: Unable to get https://data.wpscan.org/metadata.json.sha512 (Couldn't resolve host name)
What have you already tried
Absolutely nothing
Things you have tried (where relevant):
- Update WPScan to the latest version [x ]
- Update Ruby to the latest version [ ]
- Ensure you can reach the target site using cURL [ ]
- Proxied WPScan through a HTTP proxy to view the raw traffic [ ]
- Ensure you are using a supported Operating System (Linux and macOS) [ ]
That is intended. Regardless of the error type (CLI, Update etc), the message will start with Scan Aborted
But with only --update
you are not running a scan so surely it should be Update Aborted
.
