SiteLock reports malicious files in WwaFolderbackup.php

  • My web host just implemented SiteLock to conduct regular scans of their client websites. The web host reported “malicious code” in the following file of your plugin:

    /plugins/wwa-advanced-wp-security/res/inc/WwaFolderbackup.php (known malicious file; matched malware: SiteLock-PHP-ENCODED-SUSPICIOUS-km-logonly.UNOFFICIAL)

    This malicious code report is triggered everywhere this file exists, including my ZIP backups.

    Because of the malicious code, my web host deactivated my site until I removed the files. So I deleted the plugin and the backups.

    I have tried working with the web host to better understand the conditions before deactivating, but they are locked to their system requirements. I will be switching web hosts.

    I just thought you should know that SiteLock is causing issues for your plugin. Maybe you might want to talk to them.

    Thanks.

    Hello, please contact SiteLock support at (800) 608-0919 to get their scanners to stop warning site administrators about your code being malicious. Thanks.
