Hi, the following website “wxw.turchini.it” has been flagged as positive, but it’s a false positive since the website is completely clean.
Using NOD32 or scanning local files with AVAST no one files results infected.
There are also security issues reported here - https://en.internet.nl/site/turchini.it/1791436/
Whilst this may not be why Avast is alerting, but as the developer this is something you should address.
Also, please break active links to avoid accidental exposure to a suspect site - e.g. just turchini.it no http/www, etc.
Those who have responded are avast users and not Avast employees
We offer advice based on multiple security checking sites, it is up to you to act on that advise. Your site based on what we have already pointed out is using outdated software which could be ripe for exploit. As the website developer you should act on that to protect visitors.
I am going to update wordpress and all the other plugins, this is not a real problem since I had to restore the website to a very old version to remove all the threats.
But the point is that the website is not infected at all, so I’d like to inform AVAST community.
I am still waiting for AVAST to remove it from their black list.
Sorry, but from what has been said there are links to external sites that could also be responsible for the alerts so it isn’t just what is on your site.
For instance the very first reply, the link to virustotal’s analysis, in the Links element show external link to bitninja.io, which has also been mentioned in another post, Reply #7.
There is little point i us posting information if it isn’t being followed up.
Avast will only remove it if it is confirmed to be a false positive.
I don’t know where to find a report about bitninja.io, I’d like to send one to my webserver because I can’t do anything with bitninja since is a server feature.
Thanks
Well we will find it here - https://www.shodan.io/host/86.107.32.86 (your IP and your website hoster)
Server: BitNinja Captcha Server (and that comes under constant attack)
It should cover and protect you against attacks, so is actually a good thing.
But again there is no direct impact arising from this issue.
Just added this to be complete in my information on your website’s security situation and that at the hosting server
(but be aware of web technologies used there, as we have touched that already Word Press, PHP, My SQL).
Hope you will soon learn from avast about the present final detection position of your website.
P.S. This has turned into quite some interesting thread (i.m.h.o.), as it has gone over all sort of aspects of the Word Press CMS security features, to arrive at the conclusion, that without constant maintanance and updating no website will stay completely secure, and that’s for sure.
