 * Files will not get modified automatically. They may do so during updates. Did
   you update the plugin in question?

 * You mean the modification is automatic?
    Is it this plugin? [http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/)
   If so post your problem here: [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-exec-php](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortcode-exec-php)
 * Also update WordPress as soon as possible as you run the real risk of getting
   hacked and software conflicts (as the current one).
