If you used an auto installer for WordPress you may find that many of your files and folders have 777 attributes, this can be a risk and this permissions can be abused by compromised plugins.
To tighten up your folder, use SSH and locate your /httpdocs folder:
# find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
# chmod 750 ../httpdocs
At the same time, you might want to execute maldet to ensure there is no malware present:
# maldet -a ../httpdocs
