    Hi Michael,

    I hope you're well today.

    While running a scan in Defender I could notice that console was throwing 403 error on many files in the plugin folder. FInd the screenshot below,

    On further investigation, I could find a .htaccess file with rules written to forbid remote access to some of the file types in the plugin directory.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*.(7z|as|bat|bin|cgi|chm|chml|class|cmd|com|command|dat|db|db2|db3|dba|dll|DS_Store|exe|gz|hta|htaccess|htc|htm|html|html5|htx|idc|ini|ins|isp|jar|jav|java|js|jse|jsfl|json|jsp|jsx|lib|lnk|out|php|phps|php5|php4|php3|phtml|phpt|pl|py|pyd|pyc|pyo|rar|shtm|shtml|sql|swf|sys|tar|taz|tgz|tpl|txt|vb|vbe|vbs|war|ws|wsf|xhtml|z|zip)$ [NC]

    I temporarily commented on this rule and was able to run a Defender File Scan.
