Wordfence Scan returns with “modified plugin file” … but shows no difference

    Hi!

    The last WorFence scans return a “file change” issue:
    “Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/tinymce-advanced/tinymce-advanced.php
    Type: File”

    Going into the details and showing the differences results in: NO DIFFERENCES !

    Issue has appeared since the last update: WP 5.2 -> 5.2.1 and TinyMCEAdv 5.2 -> 5.2.1
    Issue appears on all of my installations.

    WP 5.2.1
    PHP 7.3.4
    WordFence: 7.3.2
    TinyMCE Adv.: 5.2.1

    Thanks
    Frank

  • Hey @frankas,

    It seems that TinyMCE Advanced was updated two days ago. Could this account for the notification? Are you able to share screenshots of what you’re seeing so I can get a better idea of what might be happening?

    Thanks,

    Hi Gerroald (@wfgerald),

    thank you for your reply. Yes you are right: the TinyMCE Advanced Plugin got an update 2 days ago from 5.2 to 5.2.1 just as a direct follow up of the WordPress 5.2 to 5.2.1 update.

    I just have checked Wordfence for the actual status – and now the issue has gone ??
    My last check before was yesterday evening (my time) – what was about 36 hours after the updates …
    For me it looks as if the WF scan uses a different database to compare the “official release” files to the “actually installed” files then the “difference view”.

    What ever … everything is fine now.
    Thanks Frank
