    Hiya friends, WooRewards Pro customer here.

    Our security scanner picked up these 2 files in the WooRewards directory. Could you take a look and see if they’re supposed to be there and why they would trigger a ‘backdoor’ warning? (Screenshot included below)

    Malware Warnings

    File Path: /wp-content/plugins/woorewards/modules/woorewards-pro/include/pointsflow/action.php
    Warning: php.backdoor.file_get_contents.005

    File Path: /wp-content/plugins/woorewards/modules/woorewards-pro/include/ui/shortcodes/easteregg.php
    Warning: php.backdoor.generic.001.19

    Thank you,

    Hello,

    These are false positives.

    The first one is a security warning because we use the php function file_get_contents which is used when you import points for your customers

    The second one is simply because of the file’s name “easteregg” because we have an image hunt feature in the plugin.

    Got it. Will put them in the scanner’s ‘allow list’.

    Thank you for confirming! <3
