WordPress Block Editor
The WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) is the default content editor in modern WordPress, and the pages it produces carry recognisable block markup. ScanMalware detects it from those wp-block-* classes and editor assets.
It confirms a reasonably current WordPress install. The broader security picture still depends on the WordPress version and, above all, the site’s installed plugins.
