Issue:
Regression introduced in nuclei 3.4.8 breaks authenticated scanning

### Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/projectdiscovery/discussions/6457

<div type='discussions-op-text'>

<sup>Originally posted by **umbernhard** September  4, 2025</sup>
I have been working on debugging an issue (#6231), and I've discovered that another bug appears to have been introduced in the 3.4.8 release of nuclei and persists in the 3.4.9 and 3.4.10 releases. Running with a secrets file appears to cause nuclei to hang. Invoking this results in no requests being sent:

```
nuclei -u https://<hostname> -stats -sf secrets.yaml 
```

Running with the `-hm` flag results in the following output:

```bash

Nuclei appears to ignore any options passed in through `-t`, and then fails to issue any requests. Here is what the dump file contains:
