    Hi Eli,

    I have run your plugin’s scan on 3 websites and it seems to be returning false positives.

    For example;

    /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-field-group-functions.php

    /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-internal-post-type-functions.php

    /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-post-type-functions.php

    /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/includes/acf-taxonomy-functions.php

    /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/pro/acf-ui-options-page-functions.php

    /wp-content/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/includes/helpers.php

    I’ve downloaded ACF and ran a Diff Checker on the first 3 files and the code is identical…If I run the automatic cleanup I see the red warning to revert and a message “There has been a critical error on this website.”

    This basically bricked the site. Any special recommendation on the best way to handle this?

    Thanks,
    Andre

    Thanks for reporting this! I have confirmed this False Positive and corrected the last definition update with a new definition just released (version P6FEO). After downloading the new definitions please run the scan again and confirm that it no longer finds and flags these files as Known Threats.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for reporting this issue!
