Problem with file user.ini

Hi,

We have a WordFence installation, and we have this user.ini created, which has the below content:

; Wordfence WAF ;
auto_prepend_file = ‘/xxx/yyy/zzz/wordfence-waf.php’
; END Wordfence WAF

This file was created by WordFence itself

The problem is, when doing the scan, it is being returned by WordFence as a critical issue, which says:

• Publicly accessible config, backup, or log file found: .user.ini
  • Type: Publicly Accessible Config/Backup/Log

How can a WordFence file be detected as an issue? When I try to use the option “Hide File” on the scan results, it says the following:

You are using an Nginx web server and using a FastCGI processor like PHP5-FPM. You will need to manually delete or hide those files.

How can I fix this then?

Thanks in advance.
