strange code appearing in nav_menu.php

  • Hi, i am in the process of moving my site to a new host and we had a few problems

    during our investigations the hosts said they found some strange code in:
    /public_html/wp-includes/nav-menu.php

    which you can see below

    They say the site could have been compromised or customized but my developer says he did not do it.

    Could this file have been altered by a plugin by any chance or does it look like the site has been compromised?

    If it has been compromised can anyone offer any advice on where to go next

    regards
    James
