 * Just thought we’d alert you to this one. What seems to be happening is this:
   
   The Post SMTP plugin has a link to the following review of their plugin and the
   reviewer has an unusual name, which was detected by the scan.[https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-support-1036/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-support-1036/)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffalse-positive-database-injection%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * LOL, that’s funny how there is more than one way to interpret that name. However,
   I still don’t understand why my plugin would detect that in your Database because
   the review is on WordPress.org and should not be in the content of your website.
 * I tried to recreate this and it does not find anything on my site after installing
   that Post SMTP plugin. If this was a DB Scan can you please send me the DB content
   that was detected. Ideally a text export of that record in the offending table
   from your DB, or else just copy and paste the full text from that record and 
   let me know what table it was found in.
 * If you can send me an example of this text then I can confirm that it is in fact
   a False Positive and then update the definition so that it is not misidentified.
