 * Hi [@alwiggins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alwiggins/) wordmatej and
   [@slysoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slysoft/),
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I regard this report as invalid. Please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-alerts-critical-for-vulenrability/?view=all#post-16068890](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-alerts-critical-for-vulenrability/?view=all#post-16068890)
   and my other replies in that thread for the current status.
 * I’m currently working together with Wordfence to remove the underlying false 
   entry from the global database that all this is based on.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
