Yes, it appears to be a false alarm. Just keep WebSite Defender happy I moved the location where these .php and images are stored. THis you can do through
this change in your config.phpdefine( ‘WPCF7_CAPTCHA_TMP_DIR’, ‘WHEREEVER/’ );
the ‘WHATEVER/’ is any directory name you chose to create so ‘/mycaptcha’ anything your want. You will need to use an ftp client such as FileZila. It will also set the file mask (chmod) of the directory to 0777 to keep Contact Form 7 happy.
No need to rebuild your forms – I simply changed the syntax of the short code to keep it up to date.
One final thing… I suggest your google “hardening your WordPress site “as web site defender is simply one component of your anti hacking armour..
Good luck

Hi
I have now changed the defualt wp_content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha
with an entry in config.php/** here we stop C form 7 writing to the wp_content/upload dir by using our our own dir*/
define( ‘WPCF7_CAPTCHA_TMP_DIR’, ‘WHEREEVER/’ );
This now works but was more fiddly than than it looks
1) check the the contact form 7 settings page as this reports whether your chosen directory is writable or not after your ftp accross your amended config.php.
2) using the new sytax for the the contact form short code
3) backup you config.php! I managed to corrupt mine but recovered from backup.Hi
I am in the exact position and I nearly nuked my blog site bacuse of it. I think routinely ignoring security scans doesn’t sound like a good idea. Do I take it we need to change the temp dir to a user defined location as outlined in

I am having similar issues. I haven’t tried whitelisting the ip address of my site but that would be an option.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: File permissions issue with new installHi
I have the same issue with a fresh install of wordpress 3.05 … I have done a previous wordpress blog which ironically is in a sub folder.
All looks very similar. The only thing that is different is the.htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
