• I have discovered a file in child theme folder (that I am sure I did not create nor upload) in an up to date WP install on a shared server named sidebar-funcs.php that contains this:

    https://pastebin.com/LEGVaidn

    None of the words/phrases/code, nothing in this file is remotely associable to this site…

    Might anyone know what this file does/came from?

    The only recent site changes in last year are WordPress updates, plugin updates, and adding the plugin ‘really-simple-captcha’ for a form.

    I have deleted the file, note no changes in site functionality.

    I check all sites regularly with Sucuri and none have ever been known to be compromised.

  • That’s indeed very strange. The files doesn’t do anything by itself. Maybe it’s disguised to be used by another file.
