That malicious code isn’t in any of the themes I have from Appfinite. Where did you download this theme from? If you downloaded it from appfinite directly, then it definitely won’t have any malicious code (I just checked all of the versions that I have)…..but if you’ve downloaded from someone else on the outside, then they could have very well added in something malicious in an attempt to hack you. This is why everyone in WordPress recommends downloading themes from the people/company that actually made the theme to avoid something like this.

If you did download from appfinite ONLY, then that means you have something else wrong with your site (unrelated to the child theme). It’s definitely not from the theme, as there isn’t anyway for them to do so through the child theme itself. It could be a plugin, or any type of vulnerable code that could have been added in manually. This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this mentioned on this site, and since I know Genesis is known for good security, I can assume there must be something else causing the issue.

I would contact your host ASAP to see if they can figure out whats going on. They should have the tools to find out exactly where and how whoever was able to hack into your account were able to do it.
