CPU spikes and wp-admin/plugin-install.php?

    I am seeing CPU usage spikes and these processes are showing in the snapshot. The thing is, I didn’t install nor search for any of the plugins mentioned in the log.

    And they all follow this pattern:
    /wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=[some plugin name I didn’t install]&TB_iframe=true&width=600&height=550

    Scans show website clean & I had a security plugin + cloud firewall installed on a previous install and got the same issue.

    Is that normal?

    Many thanks,
    Rami

    Hello rmtux,

    I would suggest deactivating all the plugins then one at a time activating them and rerunning the cmd for each, this will narrow down the plugin that might be causing the issue.

    Some developers can add ‘must use’ plugins which could be why you are seeing ones you have not installed. So deactivating and testing would hopefully narrow down the cause of the issue.

    I hope this helps,
