[4.0.2] Eval detection is bugged

Agreed. WordFence 4.0.2 has just flagged dozens of my sites with files containing possibly containing malicious code. I’m double checking with plugin authors, but I think these are all false positives.

Gravity Forms –
wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/form_display.php

ManageWP Worker plugin –
wp-content/plugins/worker/init.php

NextGen –
wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery-pro/modules/autoupdate/module.autoupdate.php

Good call. Thanks. So I guess it’s safe to ignore for now.

I can confirm that as well – usually some mismatched “eval”(where “eval” is part of a word) combined with either base64_decode() or urldecode().
And I know that base64_decode() is frowned upon, but one of the times it contained a base64_encoded image and the other time it was just a freemium theme trying to put stuff in the footer :doh:.

Confirmed this is an issue but may already be fixed. Lets merge this conversation into this thread:

…which I’m about to update.

Marking this one resolved.

Mark
