# Compromised WordPress Plugins

 * Hello! We also have an issue with reoccurring emails about “compromised plugins”
   at various levels of severity. I have checked and updated all that is required,
   and when I run a check on CleanTalk, nothing is listed as vulnerable. The plugins
   are running the latest version considered as safe. Also, when I go into WordPress
   and access the plugin security, it doesn’t show anything listed as vulnerable.
   Plugins: Envira Photo Gallery, WP Maps, Forminator.
 * Even after I completely deleted Forminator, it was still showing up on the compromised
   plugin report, even after a week. I have reactivated it since.
 * Could you please assist?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcompromised-wordpress-plugins%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
