Anyone know how to scrub a WP configuration file?

Found a lot of malware on my site. So I restored a previous save, installed Wordfence, ran a scan, and deleted or repaired all the files flagged as potentially malicious.
Per Wordfence, one potentially corrupted file must be cleaned manually. Anyone know how to do this or what to look for?
Here's the error message but I had to edit a little since TD down't seem to let me post code:
File Type: WordPress Configuration File
Details: This file appears to be installed or modified by a hacker to perform malicious activity. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans. The matched text in this file is...
Description: A rogue file included or required in wp-config.php, typically indicates that site is compromised or has been compromised in the past.

Is Wordfence giving you the specific file name (and path) of the corrupted file?

/home/69722-54673.cloudwaysapps.com/pczkyesjzt/public_html/wp-config.php
is the name.
Wordfence let's me view the corrupted file in a separate window. I don't see the path.

Did you ever get this resolved? Did you have to edit wp-config itself (or revert to an earlier version)?
