After the last update, I received notifications about several sites having a plugin flagged as suspicious. I am familiar with the file and compared it with a clean copy; it is valid.
The affected files had their permissions changed to 000 and ownership set to root:root.
I chose to allow them and, following the notification instructions, ran:
cpfence --fix-permissions`
This command corrected the ownership, but the permissions remained at 000.
Is --fix-permissions expected to restore file permissions as well, or does it only address ownership?
PS: I manually corrected the permissions using a small script.
