Hello @bunnycake –
The issue is that if you are using the Free version of Wordfence, the “Rules” are only updated every 30 days – which means that this is completely out of sync with the release of WP 6.7. DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES – they are actual WordPress Core files.
If you go to Wordfence -> All Options -> Advanced Firewall Options -> Manually Refresh Rules and then run a new Scan, this resolves the issue (tested one site thus far and seemed to do the trick).
Wordfence changed this a bit ago where the rules are only updated once every 30 days – not sure this was a great idea on Wordfence’s part.
Hello, @bunnycake
We identified an issue with one of our integrations that was incorrectly reporting the files as unknown. The issue has been remediated on our side and subsequent scans should no longer show the files as unknown. You mentioned deleting files in the past has caused issues on your site. We have documentation for these scan results to help with that, and restoring deleted or repaired files from a backup if the site has issues is the best option: https://www.wordfence.com/help/scan/scan-results/#unknown-file-in-wordpress-core
This was unrelated to updating firewall rules. For reference, WAF rules for free users are fetched every 7 days to get all rules that are at least 30 days old at that time.
Thanks,
Scott
