    Hi. My server keeps flagging ninjafirewall as a malicious file. Ive tried redownloading and installing the plugin, but it keeps getting flagged. It seems to disable the firewall completely. Please help maybe get it whitelisted?

    Could you make sure this file isn’t infected from the downloadable file on wordpress plugins?

    The file isn’t infected, that’s a false positive.
    Which rule in your malware scanner flags it ?
    You can exclude the file from maldet. See # maldet --help

    Hi. It is a malware scanner run by my hosting provider, Nexcess. Yesterday, they agreed to whitelist that particular file firewall.php.

    According to what they sent me:

    It looks like the software is Linus Malware Detect v1.6.5 – [email protected]. I just found it strange that it would trigger this but not what we used before, Wordfence.

    Thank you.

    Your host is using Linux Malware Detect?engine only, but they added their own signatures. False positives can occur sometimes, specially when scanning files belonging to security applications (firewall, antivirus).
