Hi Admin-Tool folks,

we updated to AdminTools 7.4.9 and we now have an issue with failed login attempts. The expected behaviour is to be redirected to the login form again along with a hint that the authetication failed.

This no longer happens, as a php error breaks the execution of the whole application. In order to replicate the issue, you have to use incorrect/invalid credentials.

 

0 array_map(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, string given

 

The error seems to be related to an insufficent check in plugins/system/admintools/src/Utility/BlockedRequestHandler.php on line 682 which has been added in the latest 7.4.9 release.

By temporary disabling this latest change, the site behaves as expected and redirects the user to the login page again.

I could not reproduce your issue, but I know why I can't reproduce it, why it happens to you, and how to fix it.

This code you mentioned is called every time there is a request being evaluated for blocking. It's not something added to the failed login attempts.

Moreover, the actual problem here is that the "Never block these IPs" values are not in the right format in your installation. 

The solution should be fairly simple. Go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF and click on Save & Close.
