Got Email from Wordfence: Malware Found in Some Rank Math SEO PRO 3.0.123 Downloads

I am using RankMath Pro some of my websites one of my sites I was getting huge bot visit from afternoon. From my Crisp chat dashboard I see most of visit coming from Singapore then I block Singapore but after that I see coming from multiple countries.

Full email

Rank Math has disclosed that some copies of Rank Math SEO PRO version 3.0.123 contained malware. According to Rank Math, the affected version was downloaded or installed through an update between October 15, 2026 at 20:02 UTC and October 16, 2026 at 07:12 UTC.

If an affected copy of Rank Math SEO PRO 3.0.123 was active on your website, you should treat the website as compromised. Simply updating the plugin is not enough because the malware may have placed additional files, administrator accounts, or scheduled tasks elsewhere on the server.

Rank Math removed the affected files and released version 3.0.124 as the clean replacement. Version 3.0.123 by itself does not prove that a website was compromised: Rank Math limits the incident to users who downloaded or updated to the affected version during the stated period.

Website owners should check when version 3.0.123 was downloaded or installed, and use Rank Math’s security notice as the authoritative source for updates about this incident.

So I think delete the previous version and install the new version.
