Which is problematic, because it breaks the progress reporting, since it appears in the response from the async uploader. * I traced it back, and it seems to be related to `staging_post_smtp_logs`, when a security plugin (Sucuri) sends an e-mail about a post update. Since it happens when the media file gets added to the database – that’s when it gets triggered. * The message appears in the media file’s entry in the async uploader, and breaks it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin] Language mixup?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-mixup-2/) * Thread Starter [ellmann creative](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/) * (@ellmanncreative) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-mixup-2/#post-17079792) * I’ll test it out.

Whether WordFence does anything to detect similar situations in the future is now a matter of their policy, I suppose.

I was told it’s now in a major way a very different plugin, however. They (i.e. the theme and plugin developers) are also reluctant to change the slug due to the negative impact it would have on existing installations. * I’m sure this isn’t the only example of such situations in the wild. It would mean that this issue is a “false positive” that’s bizarrely _not exactly unrelated_. How does WordFence deal with such naming conflicts? I mean, I’m sure it’s not the only plugin out there that happens to share a slug with something that exists in the public repo? * As an aside – does WordFence track _when_ any given vulnerability was introduced? It would be possible to set manual exclusion rules for such situations, when the precise split-off version is known. In this particular case, if the issue was introduced after v2.0.3 – it’s likely that this “sister plugin” isn’t actually affected. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Vulnerability reported for a plugin, but link is 404 and the plugin is not in DB](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vulnerability-reported-for-a-plugin-but-link-is-404-and-the-plugin-is-not-in-db/) * Thread Starter [ellmann creative](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/) * (@ellmanncreative) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vulnerability-reported-for-a-plugin-but-link-is-404-and-the-plugin-is-not-in-db/#post-17025144) * I think I’ve figured it out. * There are _two_ plugins, sharing the same slug – one provided by wordpress.org, the other – by the theme I’m using (Goya). * The one provided by Goya seems to be _a branch of the official one_, split at version 2.0.3 – right before the “Pro” functionality (and the associated “buy pro!” option) was introduced. While the official (public repo) plugin went on to become v3.0.0 in its changelog (and is now v4.2.0), this one’s next (and last mentioned) revision is a maintenance release 2.0.3.1 that seems to backport some fix or another; the version it’s reporting to WordPress is v4.2.1. * This plugin looks _mighty fishy_, and I’m not sure what Goya is doing here. It’s clearly a “mistaken identity” situation, except _not quite?_ It is the same plugin… only a much, _much older version_ of it, and it just so happens to share the same slug. I can see how WordFence would be confused by it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Vulnerability reported for a plugin, but link is 404 and the plugin is not in DB](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vulnerability-reported-for-a-plugin-but-link-is-404-and-the-plugin-is-not-in-db/) * Thread Starter [ellmann creative](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/) * (@ellmanncreative) * [2 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/vulnerability-reported-for-a-plugin-but-link-is-404-and-the-plugin-is-not-in-db/#post-17025118) * [@mike80222](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike80222/) Yeah, and thanks for looking into it. * Interesting. Since I don’t know which file that is, can you please take a look and confirm that it says “<= 5.1.0”? The latest version of the plugin is 4.2.0, and I currently have 4.1.0 installed. Might it be saying “<= 4.1.0” instead? * Also, [https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/wc-ajax-product-filter/](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/wc-ajax-product-filter/) does not exist – it should, if there are CVEs registered for it. * I’m not sure what to make of this. WordFence’s vulnerability websearch consistently returns a 500 error, so I can’t even tell if the plugin exists in the DB under a different slug or something. * It’s interesting however, that the one I have is named “WC Ajax Product Filters”, while the one on wordpress.org is “WCAPF – WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter”. Same slug. I also have it on a different site, and there it’s version 4.2.0 – but still “WC Ajax Product Filters”… Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 137 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/8/?output_format=md) [9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/9/?output_format=md) [10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/10/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ellmanncreative/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
