Security question about elfinder was created by rikao
Hello,

Our security tool detected the following file as malware :
media/k2/assets/vendors/studio-42/elfinder/php/connector.minimal.php-dist

But I confirmed that it is identical to your original file.
So it is not modified. 

Currently the file is quarantined (moved to the outside the public folder).
I guess it’s related to the wordpress vulnerability report in the link below:
www.secpod.com/blog/wordpress-file-manager-plugin-under-active-exploitation/
(I don’t know if it also applies to Joomla or not.)

My question is:

Will it be no problem even if the file is removed?
Or
Will it be safe to restore the file? 

Thank you for your help, in advance.

This file is part of the elFinder distribution (aka the package as downloaded from the relevant GitHub repo) but it's not used by K2 (we have our own connector) nor is it a security risk as it's just a static file (because of the .php-dist extension) for you.

Leaving it or removing it makes no difference. You're safe.
