Wordfence found unknown files from WP core. Are they WP 5.5 core files or not?
-
Hi,
I have used WP Downgrader to downgrade WP from 5.5 to 5.4.2.
I have used Wordfence to do a scan and it found about 80 unknown files in WP core folders (wp-admin and wp-includes). The list of the files names is given below.
Could you please confirm they are WP 5.5 core files? If so, perhaps there should be an update to Wordfence to give more suitable scan results and warnings.
Many thanks.
List of file names found in wp-admin and wp-includes and considered unknown by Wordfence:
