Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Compromise Scanner for wp2shell

No. It only reads the database and lists files in the plugin directory. It never creates, edits, or deletes posts, users, options, or files (other than removing itself when you click the self-destruct button).

No. It only detects artifacts. Update WordPress core to a fixed version (6.8.6 / 6.9.5 / 7.0.2 or later) to close the vulnerability. A check is marked "Matched" but I know it is legitimate. That can happen — for example, three recent legitimate embeds, or an administrator you onboarded recently, can match individual checks. The verdict is a weighted score across many indicators; review each detected item against your own records.

It means no known wp2shell artifacts were found. A careful attacker can remove traces, and other attacks leave different evidence, so treat "Clean" as reassuring but not conclusive.
