Trojan on theme plugin?

    Hi

    A friend of mine (I made his website) contacted me and told me his anti-virus programma, G Data, found a virus on his website (I translated the Dutch parts):

    Virus: JS:Trojan.JS.Agent.KU (Engine A)
    Virus gevonden bij het inladen van internet-content. (Virus found while loading content)
    Adres: https://www.wildvangpiercing.be/wp-content/themes/virtue/assets/js/min/plugins-min.js?ver=249
    Status: De toegang is geweigerd. (access denied)

    Avast anti-virus does not give me a warning on my pc. But when I scan in WordPress with the plugin Anti-Malware and Brute-Force Security by ELI, it finds potential threats on:

    …/wp-content/themes/virtue/assets/js/plugins.js
    …/wp-content/themes/virtue/assets/js/min/plugins-min.js
    …/wp-content/themes/virtue/themeoptions/options/extensions/vendor_support/vendor/ace_editor/worker-css.js
    …/wp-content/themes/virtue/themeoptions/options/extensions/vendor_support/vendor/ace_editor/worker-javascript.js
    …/wp-content/themes/virtue/themeoptions/options/extensions/vendor_support/vendor/ace_editor/worker-php.js

    I updated the theme and did a new scan but same results.

    So is this a real trojan? Or just a misinterpretation of the scanner? Or perhaps just a virus on my friends pc?

    Regards

  • Hey,
    Those files are fine. There isn’t anything in them that would cause any issue. And it’s not a trojan. Also just for the sake of wanting to make scanners play nice I’ll reconfigure to see if the scanner drops this.
