Hi there,
We recently updated WordPress to version 6.7 automatically via the admin dashboard. After the update was completed, we ran a Wordfence scan and encountered the following issue in the results:
Details from the scan:
Type: File
Filename: /website/wp-includes/wp-diff.php
File Type: Core
Details: This file is in a WordPress core location but is not distributed with this version of WordPress. This scan often includes files left over from a previous WordPress version, but it may also find files added by another plugin, files added by your host, or malicious files added by an attacker.
Similar issues were also reported for other files, including:
– wp-includes/post-template.php
– wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php
– wp-includes/post.php
We attempted to resolve this by manually updating to WordPress version 6.7, but the Wordfence scan still display these issues.
We have attached a screenshot that highlights the issue for your review. If you have encountered this issue before or have suggestions for resolving it, Please share them with us. It would be very helpful.
