    Jetpack has identified malicious code in my YellowPencil plugin.  I'm going to delete plugin, but please advise how to re-establish safely.

    The file yellow-pencil.php contains a malicious code pattern

    Threat found (PHP_Generic_BadPattern_7)

    What was the problem?

    This code pattern is often used to run a very dangerous shell program on your server. The code in these files needs to be reviewed, and possibly cleaned.

    The technical details

    Threat found in file:

    /home/wp_zb4a6c/aimonephoto.com/wp-content/plugins/waspthemes-yellow-pencil/yellow-pencil.php

    3264
    3265
    3266

    function yp_decode($value) {
    $func = 'base64' . '_decode';
    return $func($value);

    Resolving the threat

    Jetpack Scan cannot automatically fix this threat. We suggest that you resolve the threat manually: ensure that WordPress, your theme, and all of your plugins are up to date, and remove the offending code, theme, or plugin from your site.

    Hi don’t worry about it. It’s false alarm. That function is part of our plugin and it’s responsible for parsing the CSS.
