Fixed
- Compatibility - Removed a chillerlan Settings class_alias that broke LatePoint (and similar) booking confirmation QR codes after the 5.294 Imposter isolation fix. Thank you Daniel.
- MainWP - Copying Malware Scanner whitelist settings now keeps filename, hash, and pattern entries instead of flattening them into strings the scanner ignores.
- Core Scanner - Deactivating the plugin on a Multisite subsite no longer deletes network-wide scan results, ignore lists, or the main-site daily scan schedule.
- MainWP - Malware whitelist path sanitization now accepts the stored `filename` field when settings are copied between sites.
Improved
- Security headers - Default Referrer-Policy is now strict-origin-when-cross-origin (browser-aligned; better embed compatibility). Existing saved settings are not changed. Thank you Heath.
- MainWP - Remote vulnerability refreshes now return clear scheduled, already-pending, unavailable, and scheduling-failed responses.
- MainWP - Remote settings apply accepts blocked-country lists, Malware Scanner whitelist paths, and Core Scanner ignore paths with Security Ninja for MainWP 2.2.0+.
Added
- MainWP - Added the remote `update_vulnerabilities` action for free and Pro sites. It schedules a dedicated one-off database refresh even when the normal daily or weekly vulnerability job already exists.
