Title: Embedpress bootstrap security issue Last modified: September 26, 2025 --- # Embedpress bootstrap security issue * Resolved [enrichi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enrichi/) * (@enrichi) * [8 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embedpress-bootstrap-security-issue/) * Hello, I hope I’m posting this in the right section of the forum. * I have a problem with the free EmbedPress plugin. My hosting provider reported a security issue with a file in the plugin. They flagged it as malicious, but it has not been quarantined in my cpanel. * The file in question is: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/embedpress/assets/js/ vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js * The virus signature is:`SecuriteInfo.com.End-Of-Life-found-in-Bootstrap` * How can I fix it? Other people who assisted me pointed out that it’s an outdated version of Bootstrap. They flag it as security vulnerability but not as a malware. * I have already updated the EmbedPress plugin to its latest version, which is 4.4.2. * What should I do to fix it? * Thank you Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Support [Ashikur Rahman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashikurwp/) * (@ashikurwp) * [8 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/embedpress-bootstrap-security-issue/#post-18658901) * Hello [@enrichi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enrichi/) , Thanks for reaching out to us * That does seem strange.
