[Defender] Detected original WP file as modified

Defender detected wp-admin/setup-config.php as modified core file. We’ve checked and there were no differences.

    Hi William Lewis

    I hope you’re well today!

    I couldn’t replicate that scan result on my test sites and Defender didn’t flag this file on any of them for me. However, I have also double-checked the file that you provided during the chat and it doesn’t look to be modified at all.

    Before I report it to our developers though:

    – did you try to scan again (without marking issue to be ignored) and it consistently reports the file?
    – what if you overwrite this specific file with the one taken from freshly downloaded WP package and scan after that – does it still report it for you?

    Let me know, please.

    Kind regards,
    Adam
