# tmp folder?

 * I have a number of WP sites and one of those is running 3.5.2 (yep, I need to
   update it) but what’s strange is that this appears to be the only one that has
   a tmp folder at WordPress root and it seems to random files such as “sess_0b65057fecc8cb2ef20d768c365eab17”
 * Not sure what this is and why it keeps on getting written to? timthumb is being
   used – would that have anything to do with it?

 * Can you post a link to the site?
 * Timthumb can be malicious sometimes.

 * Yeah it’s adaxial.co.uk. timthumb is up to date with the latest version 2.8.11.
