Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Could you please check the files contents to check if they are actually related to the instant indexing plugin. We recommend downloading and installing the plugin from the links we provide here: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/, if you installed the plugin differently, we cannot guarantee the security
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello,
Could you check the contents from your side please as i have downloaded the plugin from the rankmath website itself.
So, its actually a matter of concern because i never download plugins from untrusted sources.
Thanks
Hi Rahul,
You might have clicked the download link on your website but that link points out to WordPress.org where our plugin is available to download:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/fast-indexing-api/
All plugins listed on WordPress are vetted and audited for security concern.
With that said, the two files that you are mentioning are malware are not found in our plugin files. It is possible that your website was hacked and someone inserted these files.
Please delete the entire plugin folder and download/install a fresh copy of Fast Indexing API plugin from WordPress.org using the link I gave you above.
Then, make sure your website and server are secured for such attempts in the future:

And, always download plugins from trusted sources.
Hope that helps.
