  • I would recommend that you contact wpengine support about this. Other mandatory plugins are also installed there. The name also points to wpengine as the originator.

    I’m 99% certain that the “Core Engine” plugin is malware. I had it on one of my sites as well. You should run a complete malware scan on your site.
