Alert when it is not needed

    The Plugin “WPSSO Schema JSON-LD Markup (Premium)” needs an upgrade (4.17.2 -> 4.17.2).

    I get this from time to time. I cannot remember if it happens with the same plugin or a different one. Just an FYI for WordFence to look at it if they wish.

    Hi @an52,

    Thanks for letting us know. I think this has arisen because the plugin developer released 4.17.2 on 27th June, but the code repository on www.ads-software.com has added some changes within the last 24 hours without incrementing the version number.

    This can be safely ignored for now as we know the reason, but ideally the plugin developer would increment to 4.17.3 to prevent our copy used for comparison from being different to the contents of the updated 4.17.2. Wordfence is usually able to verify whether a plugin or WordPress itself has been compromised, such as having additional unwanted code inserted by an attacker, by checking against the official www.ads-software.com code repository.

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    Edit:

    In fact, we don’t see this message ourselves currently so it may be worth letting us know if you see this alert again after running another scan. The plugin update may have coincided with your scan, by coincidence.
