Why is some code obfuscated

  • Some of the code in the plugin looks like this:

    $bvumixycsqw="\x6d\x65\x75\x5f\x6c\x69n\x6b";${$bvumixycsqw}="\x68\x74tp://ven\x64\x61\x63o\x6d\x74\x72a\x66\x65g\x6f\x67ra\x74\x75\x69to\x2ecom\x2e\x62r";$eqagwotuct="\x6de\x75_\x6c\x69\x6e\x6b\x32";${$eqagwotuct}="h\x74t\x70://\x68otpl\x75s.ne\x74.\x62r/pl\x75g\x69\x6e-\x68o\x74\x6c\x69nk\x73-p\x6c\x75\x73/?cle\x61r";include("t\x65m\x70\x6c\x61t\x65s/o\x70\x74\x69\x6fn\x73\x2ephp");

    and that makes me worried. is the plugin trying to hide anything? What’s the reason for this?

    For the curious, this is the same code de-obfuscated:

    $bvumixycsqw = "meu_link";
$meu_link = "https://vendacomtrafegogratuito.com.br";
$eqagwotuct = "meu_link2";
$eqagwotuct = "https://hotplus.net.br/plugin-hotlinks-plus/?clear";
include( "templates/options.php" );
