I have no experience with wpscan. This is a "World Press" thingy, right?
A bit of googling suggests the "extraneous" characters you're seeing
are indicating "color".
So, try adding the --no-color parameter to your wpscan command.
Hey!
Thank you again for your help. It is indeed something along those line.
wpscan is the same version between the 2 exports, so I guess the OS
default settings have changed.
The option to remove those 'color codes' is -f cli-no-color or
--format cli-no-color .
Thank you for helping me to fix this!
