Wordfence alert about simple-google-recaptcha.php

    Hello,a day or two ago Wordfence (WF) began flagging alerts on several sites; all are fully up to date.

    Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/simple-google-recaptcha/simple-google-recaptcha.php

    I notice on the SGR site that it was modified three days ago. Was there perhaps a new SGR release that did not bump the version?

    The first flagges line is 133, the trailing comma in the modified line:

    Original: Entity::BADGE_HIDE => new Entity(__(‘Hide reCAPTCHA v3 badge’, ‘simple-google-recaptcha’))

    Modified: Entity::BADGE_HIDE => new Entity(__(‘Hide reCAPTCHA v3 badge’, ‘simple-google-recaptcha’)),

    Another example is line 416:

    Original: private function responseParse(string $response): array
    Modified: private function recaptchaResponseParse(string $response)

    Thanks in advance for the help. I will be glad to provide additional information if needed.

    Hi @nmb52,

    Thank you for notification. It’s correct. I’m sorry, it was extraordinary situation when I did changes in current version instead of create new version.

    Hi, and thanks for the update. Will you be releasing a new version, or should we work around it in Wordfence?

    It was small update and it is not necessary to update SGR. I’m not going to release new version in nearest future. You can reinstall SGR or keep current version – it’s up to you :-).

    I don’t know how much work it is for you to release a new version, but that would save many people from having to tell WF to ignore the file. I will need to update six or seven sites I manage.

    I appreciate your work on the plugin; it is simple to use and seems to work well. THanks~

    From my point of view it was the lesser evil than release new version just because of this small modification. Anyway it was really extraordinary situation. Thank you for understand and your support! ??
