Confirmed.

This is probably caused by a change in libcpanel-json-xs-perl:

4.42 2026-06-27 (rurban)
…
         - Change allow_nonref default to true (GH #241, matching JSON::PP and
           JSON::XS 4.0+ and the insecure RFC 7159).
           encode and decode now accept non-reference values by default.
           decode_json() with an explicit 0/1 second argument still works.
           allow_nonref(0) to disable scalars-only for secure JSON.
