Comment:

 Thanks for the report. The plugin information modal in WordPress admin is
 designed to load inside an iframe. If the server is configured with the `X
 -Frame-Options: DENY` header, browsers will block the iframe from loading,
 which results in this behavior.

 This header is part of the site’s/server's security configuration and not
 set by WordPress core. Changing it to `SAMEORIGIN` will allow the modal to
 work while maintaining protection.

 Since this is caused by site-specific configuration rather than a core
 issue, I'm marking this as **invalid**.
