I’ve received the same warning today from WordFence and I’m a Pretty Link Pro user… I guess it’s an issue with WordFence?

Nope it’s an issue with PrettyLinks code which is linking to a compromised site.
Pretty Link uses that file as a reference for hits data. It does not actually link/connect to any of the sites listed in the file so there is no threat, however we’ll look into getting the file updated to remove the links that are triggering the alarm in WordFence.
