How come a bot can update a page?

A web crawler cannot do that by itself.

What I think is happening is that your website is designed in such a way that when a HTTP request hits the FAQ page the code is reacting by applying a modification. It is not possible to know what was the modification using the information above, but I could think of some:

• Maybe the post table has a visitor counter column that is counting the number of visits, which means that every time a HTTP request is detected, the content of the table is modified and this triggers the security alert.
• Maybe there is another plugin running in the background that is modifying an existing column in the database, I have seen some 3rd-party themes updating the “created_at” and “updated_at” columns.
• Maybe there is a bug in your code that is mistakingly triggering the execution of the publish_page WordPress hook which is what the Sucuri plugin uses to detect changes in the posts and pages.
• etc […]

Your web developer may have more information.

At this point, it’s not possible for me to give you a better answer because I don’t know how your website was built. I will be marking this ticket as resolved, but if you have the PHP source code of the FAQ page and are willing to share it we can re-open the ticket and continue the investigation.
