Error message

to set custom parameters for the phishing url, use format 'param1=value1 param2=value2'

What it means

In 'lures get-url <id> <param1=value1 ...>', every trailing argument must contain an '=' to separate parameter name from value; one of the tokens did not, so custom phishing-URL parameters cannot be parsed. Validation guard on each argument token in handleLures.

Solutions

1. Pass parameters as key=value pairs, e.g. lures get-url 0 user=john id=42.
2. Quote arguments containing spaces or special shell characters.
3. Remove or fix any bare token that lacks '='.
