New to Wordfence. Need Help With Warning Emails

Volunteer with Families Anonymous. Just asked to take over website support. Got multiple warning emails from WordFence. Latest email is:

“A user with IP addr 51.38.162.226 has been locked out from signing in or using the password recovery form for the following reason: Exceeded the maximum number of tries to recover their password which is set at: 10. The last username or email they entered before getting locked out was: ‘pHqghUme’.
The duration of the lockout is 4 hours.
User IP: 51.38.162.226
User hostname: ip226.ip-51-38-162.eu
User location: France”

Is there anything further I need to do, or did WordFence take care of this itself?

Login Error Log

Hi There!

I know there is a way to view a selection of attempted unsucessful logins, but is there a way to view a larger list and most importantly the REASON they were unsuccessful?

Right now it says:

username ip timestamp
username ip timestamp

I would love:

Username ip timestamp “wrong Password”
Username ip timestamp “on breach list”
Username ip timestamp “not a user”

I cant find anything on free or pro that does this, but I used to get emails for each one with that information, so I know that it is possible. Is this somewhere I just havent seen?
TIA

Signal Sciences WAF conflict

Hi,

We are using a WAF from Signal Sciences, https://www.signalsciences.com/ and this seems to be conflicting with the firewall in that every visitor to the site is attached a single ip, that if a lockout occurs it blocks this ip which blocks all users. Is there a solution to this issue so that we can get the Wordfence firewall to work with our other WAF?

Thanks

File identified but reported text not found

In my wordfence scan I am getting a backdoor reported in a file, but when I check the file the reported bad text is not there.
The reported file is

Filename: wp-content/themes/anora/core/admin/options_page__importexport.php
File Type: Not a core, theme, or plugin file from wordpress.org.
Details: This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is: $uploaddir = get_template_directory().’/core/temp/’;\x0a\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename( $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘name’] );\x0a\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09\x09if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘tmp_name’], $uplo…

The issue type is: Backdoor:PHP/baduploader.6832
Description: File uploader used as a backdoor

When I go to that file and find the lines $uploaddir etc, the \x0a\x09\x0…. stuff isn’t there

if ( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_METHOD’] == ‘POST’ ) {
$uploaddir = get_template_directory().’/core/temp/’;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename( $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘name’] );
if ( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘tmp_name’], $uploadfile) ) {
if ( $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘type’] === ‘text/plain’ ){
echo anora_import_theme_options( $uploadfile );
} else {

Where could this backdoor code be coming from?

Rules applied on our htaccess file causing slow performance

On our Htaccess file, we had some rules applied for WordFence plugin. The rules were embedded on our htaccess file, and it was causing this major looping issue on the backend, which slowed down the whole site. Seems kind of like there’s some issues with it creating historical rules that don’t go away even on deactivation. Is there any way we can solve this and keep using the plugin?

Hello,
I’ve found this error message showing today:
Fatal error: Uncaught wfWAFStorageFileException: Unable to verify temporary file contents for atomic writing. in /var/www/clients/client5/web114/web/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/storage/file.php:52 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/clients/client5/web114/web/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/storage/file.php(659): wfWAFStorageFile::atomicFilePutContents(‘/var/www/client…’, ‘<?php exit(‘Acc…’) #1 [internal function]: wfWAFStorageFile->saveConfig(‘livewaf’) #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/clients/client5/web114/web/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/storage/file.php on line 52

I’ve entered the backend, were the error was showing as well, deactivated Wordfence, and the error disappeared.
I’ve run some plugin updates, then reactivated Wordfence: the error was not showing anymore.
I hope it does not shows again, but I’m wondering about this and if it may cause some major issues.

Hi there,

I checked my .htaccess file and I’ve seen that it’s on the WordPress default.
I believe this happened when WordPress was automatically updated, not sure why since it hadn’t happened before.

I would like to know how do I make Wordfence re-write my htaccess for full security.

Thanks,

Hey guys! I have a blog using Wordfence, and I simply can’t login on Firefox (on Chrome is working ok).

Firstly It wasn’t showing the 2FA step, so I removed the 2FA on my account via Chrome. Now It shows “VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Additional verification is required for login. Please check the email address associated with the account for a verification link.”

I click on the link in my email, and when I try to login, the same message appears again. I don’t know what to do.

When my colleagues are trying to view pages of our web site via corporate VPN the following error is appearing: Unable to access the site (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). When they aren’t using VPN – all is OK. Is it can be related with plugin Wordfence?

I’m very appreciate you for any answer.

I thought I’d mention this warning which has been appearing in our /public_html/error_log since Aug 14, though only three times total in that period. I don’t associate it with any particular problem, but it’s probably something you want to clear up if it’s not just us.

PHP Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/waf/bootstrap.php on line 286

This is with PHP 7.4.x (latest) currently but 7.3.x back in August.

Wordfence is the current version.

Wordpress is 5.5.1 but 5.4.x in August.

WordFence – Notification now showing correct time

I have a website setup to send Admin logon notifications with WordFence. These notifications are not showing the correct time. I have reset the server time and made a change in PHP so I’m thinking there is something I’m not doing correctly in WordFence.

Since we are in CDT, the time below should have been 10:55am.

Here’s the statement in the notification email:

This email was sent from your website …. by the Wordfence plugin at Saturday 12th of September 2020 at 03:55:06 PM

WordFence diagnostics shows the following:

Wordfence Network Time
2020-09-12 15:55:22 UTC

Server Time
2020-09-12 15:55:22 UTC

Wordfence Network Time Offset
+ less than 1 second

NTP Time Offset
+ less than 1 second

TOTP Time Source
Server Time

WordPress Time Zone

What is the best way to fix this discrepancy?

Thanks!
