This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to secure your website, but Defender Pro is indicating that there might be an issue with a file.
Solution:
We have previously encountered similar reports and have conducted a thorough analysis of the files in question, confirming they are false positives. We have contacted WPMU to have these files added to the allowlist. For now, it is safe to ignore these warnings. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at our support forum.

Hello there,

Welcome to our support.

We've got a similar report here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/defender-marks-submit-as-suspicious/

We conducted a thorough analysis on the files in question and confirmed they're false positives.

We reached out to WPMU to get them added to the allowlist.

For the time being it is safe to ignore them.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
