| Explanation | a remote HTTP fetch (`wp_remote_*`/`curl_exec`/`file_get_contents`) is followed by `@unserialize` within the same file — classic PHP Object Injection C2 gadget used by EP and most WP supply-chain backdoors. The error-suppressed form is the tell: legit code wants to know when deserialize fails; attackers suppress so malformed gadgets do not leak. |
