    Wordfence is telling me I have: Issue Found 27/07/2019 18:02 – Critical:
    Publicly accessible config, backup, or log file found: .user.ini
    Type: Publicly Accessible Config/Backup/Log?

    However when I check the file it is:
    ; Wordfence WAF
    auto_prepend_file = ‘/site address/wordfence-waf.php’
    ; END Wordfence WAF

    It was obviously created by wordfence so why is is visible and what should I do about it?

    Thanks

    Hey @11whyohwhy15,

    This file should be blocked from viewing in your htaccess file, and there should be a link to fix the issue in the notice to fix it. Are you able to share the contents of your htaccess file?

    Thanks,

    Gerroald

    Hi,

    There is no link to fix just hide/ignore/details

    In details it just gives options to delete/mark as fixed

    I then have 3 x htaccess files in my public_html folder:

    .htaccess
    .htaccess-
    .htaccess-off

    In .htaccess – I have ifmodule rewrite

    In .htaccess- I have the ifmodule rewrite &
    # Wordfence WAF
    <Files “.user.ini”>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all denied
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    </IfModule>
    </Files>
    # END Wordfence WAF

    In .htaccess-off I have all of the above plus cache, hotlinking, ifmodule & deflate etc.

    Thanks

    Hey @11whyohwhy15,

    This looks correct. What type of server environment are you using?

    Can you send me a Diagnostics report so I can get a better overview of your environment? Please navigate to Wordfence > Tools > Diagnostics. Here you can select SEND REPORT BY EMAIL. Please include your ww.wp.xz.cn username and update this thread after you’ve sent it.

    Thanks,

    Hey @11whyohwhy15,

    One more thought to rule out a false positive. Are you able to access the file in a browser following the YourSite/wordfence-waf.php path?

    Thanks,

    okay I have fixed the problem it seems my .htaccess that was live didn’t have the waf details in it so I reconfigured it then did a new scan and the critical warning has disappeared.

    Thanks
