 * My hosting provider have found following files infected by malicious code and
   I use your plugin with the last update:
 * www/wp-content/plugins/miniorange-rest-api-authentication-common/classes/common/
   RESTAPIHandler/class-restapihandler.php (obsahuje/contains {HEX}Malware.Expert.
   php.strrot)
    www/wp-content/plugins/miniorange-rest-api-authentication-common/
   classes/common/AdvancedSettings/class-advancedsettings.php (obsahuje/contains{
   HEX}Malware.Expert.php.strrot)
 * EDIT (their answer):
    The plugin code is obfuscated to avoid reverse engineering
   and that is why the malware scanner is not able to understand the code and thus
   pointing it as malicious. But I would like to assure you that the code is legitimate
   and hence you can whitelist this file in your malware scanner.

 * Hi [@newsinlevels](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newsinlevels/),
 * Thanks for reaching out and posting our internal ticket answer as well here.
 * We furthermore want to add here that the tool that you are using to scan plugins
   is primitive. It is unable to distinguish between a hacker written code and our
   code which is for a valid reason. This looks like a false positive.
 * We hope it clears all your concerns in case you are still thinking of this as
   our plugin’s issue.
 * Also, we believe the plugin is working smoothly to fulfil your requirements:)
 * Please feel free to raise an internal ticket via email if you have any questions
   or want to know more about the plugin features.
 * Thanks,
    Team miniOrange
