Possible security issue

  • To the plugin author:

    I have noticed by observing the logs my wordfence plugin that hackers will ping your site for plugins that may have vunerabilitie.

    This morning I found this on one of my sites:
    (France tried to access non-existent page https://kitecamptci.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/license.txt
    6/25/2016 10:29:16 AM (4 hours 22 mins ago) IP: 193.248.58.26 [block] Hostname: LStLambert-656-1-278-26.w193-248.abo.wanadoo.fr
    Browser: Chrome version 0.0 running on MacOSX
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.813.0 Safari/535.1)

    I do not have contact form 7 installed on that site. But I do on others so I deleted the license.txt as a precaution.

    For what it’s worth
