I tried version 2.5.7 and it crashes after parsing the yara rules? but updating them doesn't have any effect. This is the error I got:
WARN[2025-09-10T14:33:36Z] yara.go:91 YARA compiler warning in file ruleset: /home/deepfence/usr/secret.yar:29873 rule "PoetRat_Python": string "$grammer_massacre" may slow down scanning
