    Hello,

    I’ve been using HMWP for a while now and it’s amazing plugin and I’ve had zero issues with it thus far. First site I have ever received this message on:

    The following potential attack has been detected by HMWP IDS If it’s done by you please Exclude it from Intrusions Log page or increase Notify Threshold from IDS settings.

    IP: 94.131.14.100 User ID: 0 Date: 2015-05-19T15:41:18+00:00 Total Impact: 32 Affected tags: dt id lfi

    Affected parameters: REQUEST._mysite_download_skin=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fwp-config.php, POST._mysite_download_skin=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fwp-config.php,

    Request URI: /wp-content/themes/awake/lib/scripts/dl-skin.php Origin: 23.229.160.5

    This theme was included in a download of a bunch of themes I purchased. I’m not sure if this is due to my theme or what exactly is going on honestly but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi, this seems to be some intrusion or hack attempt. But you need not worry as HMWP IDS will automatically take care of this. This request would be blocked by HMWP IDS as the impact level is more than 20.

    Thanks Suman, glad to know it’s something HMWP IDS will handle. I did not know it was blocking it, just thought it was reporting to me that it was happening.
