Hello,
This is a bit strange, there is no such file in the official Wordpress core files. Is this a file that you’ve added to your WordPress site? If the file was not added by you, then I would strongly suggest checking the content and making sure that there is no malicious content.

You’re welcome! Glad I could help.
Thanks cplaiasu,
It was the wp-vcd.php file in the wp-includes folder, after removing the file the website is working fine.
Thanks a lot.
Hello,
Your wp site was hacked, probably from some nulled plugins.
Check your functions.php file from theme folder and delete all content from top of that file (post.php might be modified too), also delete wp-tmp.php and wp-vcd.php from wp-includes folder.
Probably first thing you should do: remove any plugin or theme from unsafe sources (nulled, cracked… whatever).
