 * Hi there,
 * We’re using original TCPDF library in Tickera and the code could be compared 
   here [https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/files/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpdf/files/)
 * What the VaultPress scanner actually spotted are things like these bellow and
   you can see the decoded results here for instance [http://ddecode.com/hexdecoder/?results=bcace881138d3437ef89d9b932d53c8b](http://ddecode.com/hexdecoder/?results=bcace881138d3437ef89d9b932d53c8b)
 * As you can see, result of this particular one is “Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.
   org)” which is certainly not a malicious code 😉
 * tcpdf_static.php:
    /** * Encryption padding string. * [@public](https://wordpress.org/support/users/public/)
   static */ public static $enc_padding = “\x28\xBF\x4E\x5E\x4E\x75\x8A\x41\x64\
   x00\x4E\x56\xFF\xFA\x01\x08\x2E\x2E\x00\xB6\xD0\x68\x3E\x80\x2F\x0C\xA9\xFE\x64\
   x53\x69\x7A”;
 * tcpdf.php:
 * public function Close() {
    … $msg = “\x50\x6f\x77\x65\x72\x65\x64\x20\x62\x79\
   x20\x54\x43\x50\x44\x46\x20\x28\x77\x77\x77\x2e\x74\x63\x70\x64\x66\x2e\x6f\x72\
   x67\x29”; …
 * }
    tcpdf_parser.php:
 * /**

   keyword). * [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/) $xref (array)

   protected function decodeXref( $startxref, $xref = array() ) { $startxref += 
   4; // 4 is the lenght of the word ‘xref’ // skip initial white space chars: \
   x00 null (NUL), \x09 horizontal tab (HT), \x0A line feed (LF), \x0C form feed(
   FF), \x0D carriage return (CR), \x20 space (SP) $offset = $startxref + strspn(
   $this->pdfdata, “\x00\x09\x0a\x0c\x0d\x20”, $startxref ); // initialize object
   number $obj_num = 0; // search for cross-reference entries or subsection ….
 * I hope it helps. Please consider changing a rating to 5 stars.
 * Thanks a lot!
