    WordFence is giving me this warning about your plugin; please confirm that it is a false alarm (or not). Thank you so much

    This file may contain malicious executable code: wp-content/plugins/photo-gallery/frontend/views/BWGViewGalleryBox.php
    Type: File
    Issue Found June 8, 2018 9:38 am
    Critical

    DETAILS
    Filename: wp-content/plugins/photo-gallery/frontend/views/BWGViewGalleryBox.php

    File Type: Not a core, theme, or plugin file from www.remarpro.com.

    Details: This file is a PHP executable file and contains the word “eval” (without quotes) and the word “urldecode(” (without quotes). The eval() function along with an encoding function like the one mentioned are commonly used by hackers to hide their code. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. This file was detected because you have enabled HIGH SENSITIVITY scanning. This option is more aggressive than the usual scans, and may cause false positives.

    Hi,

    We would like to inform you that the warning is not a security issue. You should not worry about it. However, please note that we will implement a solution for this in our future updates, and you will not receive the warning in WordFence anymore.

    Thank you! Have a nice day!
