Hello, We are experiencing a reproducible error with Admin Tools Professional 7.9.3 when a user enters an incorrect username or password on the Joomla frontend. Environment - Admin Tools Professional: 7.9.3 - PHP: 8.3 - Website: Joomla - Frontend login URL: /login?task=user.login Problem When Web Application Firewall → Hardening Options → “Treat failed logins as a reason for blocking the request” is enabled, an incorrect frontend login does not result in the normal Joomla login error message. Instead, the following PHP error is displayed: Akeeba\Plugin\System\AdminTools\Utility\BlockedRequestHandler::escapeLogLine(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type string, null given, called in /home/gepensione/public_html/plugins/system/admintools/src/Utility/BlockedRequestHandler.php on line 863 The Admin Tools Security Exceptions Log records the request as: - Reason: Login failure - Target URL: /login?task=user.login Steps to reproduce 1. Enable “Treat failed logins as a reason for blocking the request”. 2. Open the Joomla frontend login page. 3. Enter a valid or invalid username with an incorrect password. 4. Submit the login form. 5. The BlockedRequestHandler::escapeLogLine() TypeError is displayed instead of Joomla's normal failed-login message. Test performed We temporarily disabled only “Treat failed logins as a reason for blocking the request”. With this option disabled, the exact same failed login is handled correctly by Joomla and the normal message is displayed: “The username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.” Re-enabling the Admin Tools option causes the PHP TypeError again. Other WAF functionality remains enabled, including Log blocked requests. Could you please advise whether this is a known issue in Admin Tools 7.9.3, and whether there is a fix or recommended workaround? If required, we can provide the full stack trace, Joomla version, debug log, and additional configuration details.
