 * I downloaded and reviewed two files – content2.php and content/system_m.php.
   
   The first downloaded obfuscated code from the internet and stored it in local
   files. The second has obfuscated code itself. I didn’t look any further and had
   not tried to unobfuscate the files to see what this was about. It seems fishy,
   and I wouldn’t install it.

 * This is not true! Theme **does not contain** any of the files you mentioned. 
   All themes go through review process, and any malicious code would be detected
   and theme wouldn’t be here.
 * Download it, open it, and see for yourself. Even previous versions of Mosalon
   don’t have these files.
 * Don’t write stuff like this which can influence bad ratings, or wrong opinion
   about our work!
    ** If you downloaded theme from anywhere else but wordpress.
   org this may be true, and beware! Don’t download themes from other sites if theme
   exists on wordpress.org!

 * [@shayacrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shayacrich/) Check next time,
   OK? Your accusations are incorrect.

 * If you are seeing that on your server then your site is compromised and that 
   has nothing to do with this theme.
 * Please remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
 * When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).

 * Thank you Jan,
 * I’m quite calm 🙂
    As I said, I reported what I saw when downloading directly
   from wordpress.org.
 * This is not the case anymore.
    I’ll remove my review for now, but will keep an
   eye this in the future.

 * [@shayacrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shayacrich/) It’s more likely
   that your site has been hacked and not theme in [http://wordpress.org](http://wordpress.org).
   I recommend you to check your site with exploit scanner or scan it with virustotal.
   com or something.
 * Thanks for changing the review.
