    Hi @evgenyviner,

    The screenshot shows “header_backup (18.3.22 15:13).php” as the file involved, so if you don’t require the backup version of the file, you could safely remove it to suppress the scan error. The \x0A character usually signifies the equivalent of a \n or line break, and as it appears to genuinely be at the end of HTML lines without other obfuscated code, may have been generated by a page builder or during the backup/duplication process itself.

    However, I think the presence of a filename that shouldn’t be in your theme’s folder is the main issue being flagged rather than the contents.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
