Link injection on WordPress site

[ad_1]

Hello all,

I’m having an issue with a client’s WordPress site where a bunch of random German links are being injected at the very top of the <body> tag.

[Example of the link injection happening right below the opening \<body\> tag])

I’ve done malware scans and haven’t been able to find anything thus far. Tried disabling plugins to see if maybe there was a corrupt plugin but that hasn’t shed any light on the issue yet either. Wondering if anyone has come across anything similar before or might have some suggestions as I can’t seem to figure out how these links are even getting there.

Thank you!

  1. – Also try running the [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall])

    – Audit the installed plugins and themes for anything abandoned and no longer maintained.

    – Delete and replace all plugin/theme/Wordpress files and directories except of course /wp-content/ and wp-config.php

    – Check the .htaccess file

    – Change the salt keys

    – Check the timestamps on files in /wp-content/ for recently modified files, and visually inspect

    Good luck!
