    On one of the websites where I use All-in-One Event Calendar, WordFence Scan reports that one or more files have been changed from the distribution version. For example:
    Filename: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/public/js_cache/calendar.js
    File Type: Plugin
    Issue First Detected: 1 hour ago.
    Severity: Warning
    Status New

    This file belongs to plugin “All-in-One Event Calendar by Time.ly” version “2.5.21” and has been modified from the file that is distributed by www.ads-software.com for this version.
    ——————-

    Permissions for the js_cache folder are set to 755.
    The “calendar.js” file when first installed has zero bytes but after being modified by some unknown source it contains 437.58 KB. If I replace the changed file with the original one, it gets modified again within a few hours.

    Can you explain how and why this is happening and whether I should be concerned about it or not?

    Thank you.

  • Hi @ricka99,

    Your javascript cache folder is designed to make your calender load quicker. The cache folder will hold a your javascript file(s) so it can load quicker. It is nothing to worry about as far as security threats, because your folder permissions are secure and the file is only modified by the calendar itself.

    Thanks, Sunny. That’s what I needed to know.
