The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.A module version can be NULL value. When calculating message hmac before sending it to the AN this value is serialized (within _acquia_agent_hmac()) as NULL. After going through XML-RPC the value turns from NULL into an empty string. So when the hmac is then calculated on the server side to check the message authenticity the value serialized as empty string and validation fails.
Probably a more general solution is required here. If Drupal XML-RPC API understand NULL values there would be no such problem.

pwolanin commentedGood catch - this possibility was nagging at my mind. Probably we should use a ternary, since otherwise we may generate a notice? Or is that array key actually assigned a NULL value?
