Firewall flagging a file

    Our server firewall is flagging a file in the plugin.

    Path of file
    /wp-content/plugins/ajax-load-more/admin/codemirror/mode/clike/index.html

    In fact, there seems to be a publicly accessible set of files under /codemirror that shouldn’t be part of this plugin? Any idea what’s going on here?

    @svaults Codemirror is the library used to edit Repeater Templates in the admin.
    I haven’t had any reports of the flagging firewalls from other users as of yet.

    It hasn’t been updated in a few years.

    Thank you. Looking at the output for that file, I can see why it would be flagged. Is there a reason why this file is publicly accessible? Is it even necessary?

    I can ask the server admins to whitelist this file or prevent reading with .htaccess but I think the solution is to remove those files or to make them inaccessible with the plugin itself.

    Please let me know what you think?

    It’s definitely not necessary.
    It is included when you install Code Mirror syntax library.
