    hello Gregory
    I have noticed that in the weekly activity report there is “Attempt to upload malicious file denied”
    checking it shows all requests came from the admin which its IP is registeed in the white list.

    requests are for example:
    Attempt to upload malicious file denied Malicious code detected
    /wp-admin/async-upload.php
    and
    Attempt to upload malicious file denied Malicious code detected
    /wp-admin/upload.php

    My question, why a whitelist IP is shown as “malicious file”?
    Thanks

    Hi! Uploading files with executable code is not allowed. This is not what can be whitelisted. Nobody can bypass this type of inspection.

    Thanks Gregory
    As far as I know, the only files that were uploaded were:
    .pdf, .jpg, .png and some plugings.
    no executable files were uploaded.
    thank you

    Plugins contain executable files. If the traffic logging is enabled, you can check on what files were uploaded.
