| Dec 12, 2018 at 19:06 | comment | added | Pat J | It's possible that it's a core dump file (see Naming for why I think this might be the case), which isn't part of WordPress and definitely shouldn't be left there. | |

Is the file actually named wp-admin/core, or is it something else? That doesn't sound to me like an actual WordPress file.

| Dec 12, 2018 at 16:51 | comment | added | jarrodwhitley | That's the problem. I can't actually access the file. Plus, I wouldn't know what to look for. All my security scans come back clean, but I don't like files changing without me knowing who did it. | |
| Dec 12, 2018 at 16:49 | comment | added | kero | In my fresh WP install there is no file /wp-admin/core_(there is _/wp-admin/update-core.php though). Nevertheless: usually no one changes the plugin, might have been an eager host, might have been a hacker. Can't say unless we know how it changed | |
