File Manager shows "BAILOUT Malware" error editing file

If you are encountering the "BAILOUT Malware" error while attempting to edit a file using File Manager in your cPanel account, it indicates that Imunify360 has flagged the file as containing malicious content. Fortunately, there are two easy solutions to this problem.

Firstly, you can encode the code in the file. This can be done easily by using an online encoder, which will transform the code into a format that is safe from malware detection. Once the code has been encoded, you can edit the file without encountering the error message.

Alternatively, you can add the file path to Imunify360's ignore list. This tells Imunify360 to ignore the file and not scan it for malware. To do this, log in to your WHM account and navigate to Plugins > Imunify360 > Malware Scanner > Ignore Lists. From there, add the complete file path of the file that is triggering the error, for example: /home/username/public_html/file.php

By following these steps, you can edit your files in File Manager without encountering the "BAILOUT Malware" error.
