An error "Skipping current insertion point. Too many consecutive "empty response" errors have occurred." occurs due to the extension when scanning

I'm working on Web Security Academy. While working on a SQL injection lab, I faced an issue where the Scanner would give me the error "Skipping current insertion point. Too many consecutive "empty response" errors have occurred." I tried various resource pool settings to resolve this issue, but I was unable to resolve the issue. In the end, this problem was resolved by turning off all extensions. When I searched the internet, it seemed like there were other people in the same situation. Why does this problem occur? thank you in advance.

Hi Takahiro,

Yes, there have been cases with customers facing the same error. We are still investigating these errors and collecting more data on how people are facing it and how it can be eradicated. You said that switching off the extensions made the errors go away. May I know which extensions were they? Since the extensions are build by our community, it could be that some of these extensions don't behave the intended way and are causing these errors.

Please share the extensions you turned off and we will look into it.

Thank you for your response. The extension in question was "Hackvertor".

Sorry, my English is not good so I will correct it. The Extension that caused the problem was "Hackvertor".
