    Wordfence is warning of a malicious or unsafe file.
    It looks to be a false positive. Is that correct?
    Should the plugin, or Wordfence correct this?

    File appears to be malicious or unsafe: wp-content/languages/plugins/theme-check-en_AU.l10n.php

    • Filename:?/my-web-site-file-path/public_html/wp-content/languages/plugins/theme-check-en_AU.l10n.php
    • File Type:?Not a core, theme, or plugin file from www.remarpro.com.
    • Details:?This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is:?str_rot13() is not allowed’=>’str_rot13() is not allowed’,’Google search code detected’=>’Google search code detected’,’PHP system calls are often disabled by server admins and should not be in themes…

      The issue type is:?Suspicious:PHP/rot13_of_eval.95
      Description:?A suspicious code known as rot13_of_eval

    thank you
