WPScan Plugin Not Working

[asf-framework-bmg]

Although the WPscan API key is configured in /root/.sniper_api_keys.conf & option is set to 1 in /root/.sniper.conf.

When running the web scan with command " sniper -t website.com -m web -w website.com", the scan get the error message in the scan "Scan Aborted: Update required, you can not run a scan if a database file is missing" but WPscan works fine on running the wpscan commands. Using latest version of kali

Hello,

Yes, same here.
I suggest the following steps:

Remove all wpscan package related:
sudo apt-get remove wpscan
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove wpscan
sudo apt-get purge wpscan
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove wpscan
gem uninstall wpscan

Install Requirements & Wpscan:
sudo apt install gnupg2
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/rvm
sudo apt-get install rvm -y
reboot (Mandatory reboot)
sudo usermod -a -G rvm "your_username"
rvm user gemsets
rvm install ruby
sudo gem install rails
rvm all do gem update --system (without sudo)
sudo apt install ruby-full -y
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev ruby-dev build-essential libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev -y
sudo gem install wpscan
gem update wpscan
git clone https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan
cd wpscan/
bundle install
rake install
sudo wpscan --update

This will be fixed in the next public release of Sn1per. In the meantime, running wpscan --update should do the trick.
