Issue Description

I am running rippled v2.5.0.
Since 2025-09-05 12:26 UTC I have been seeing repeated warnings and errors like the following in my logs:

UTC ValidatorSite:WRN Unable to parse JSON response from https://xrpl.org
UTC ValidatorSite:ERR Exception in onSiteFetch: bad json

Steps to Reproduce

I have not specified validator_list_site in my configuration, so the default value (https://xrpl.org) is being used.

Expected Result

rippled should be able to fetch and parse the validator list JSON from the default site without errors.

Actual Result

The fetch fails with bad json, and validator list updates do not succeed.

Environment

  • rippled version: v2.5.0
  • Network: Mainnet
  • OS: Amazon Linux 2
