Funny you should mention this..... I just wrote a couple of hacks to the forum mod to 1) View posts since last login, and 2) View unread posts/posts w/ no replies. As soon as I can get things cleaned up up in I will post it here for d/l.

Maybe I am paranoid, but this is what I would do.

Backup your database & your site.

Then I suggest you create a new admin/webmaster account with
a different password and delete the old admin account.

Backup the database a second time.

Then I would also change the MySQL username and password and
alter my XOOPS install to use the new combination. (You
cold even clone the database over into one with a new name
as well). I believe the database connection information is
stored in mainfile.php, but it may be somewhere else too,
perhaps one of the developers can give more info on this.

Last, make sure your session time isn't set for very long
and make sure you choose logout each time so that the
webmaster session is terminated and not left open.

If something goes wrong, you have a backup of your site and
two of your database to revert to.

Weird, you shure isn't your own ip?

I tested on a site that has phpmyadmin installed (your link wasn't working anymore since you removed the module) and there I get a none-permission error...

*punt to the top*

I've never used the module, or any module that access's the DB in this manner so I can't offer any feedback, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Looks pretty scary to me, glad you dropped the mod right away.

This morning going over the logs I found this
Host: 203.217.41.124 Url: /modules/phpmyadmin/admin/sql.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1&server=1&db=supernix_xoops&table=xoops_config&goto=tbl_properties.php&back=tbl_properties.php&sql_query=SELECT+%2A+FROM+%60xoops_config%60&pos=0&PHPSESSID=aed13a2e3e593f9d7c893a483bf3481e Http Code : 200
Date: May 28 03:15:17 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 244435
Referer:http://www.dnspad.com/modules/phpmyadmin/admin/sql.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1&server=1&db=supernix_xoops&table=xoops_config&goto=tbl_properties_structure.php&back=tbl_properties_structure.php&sql_query=SELECT+%2A+FROM+%60xoops_config%60&pos=0&PHPSESSID=aed13a2e3e593f9d7c893a483bf3481e Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; YComp 5.0.0.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)

and when I went to that URL it showed the PHPMyadmin and the table with options to manipulate the tables and such.


And shortly before that I found this :
Host: 210.50.219.22 Url: /modules/phpmyadmin/admin/index.php Http Code : 200
Date: May 28 03:13:41 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 642
Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

So I dont know if it is a problem with XOOPS or the PHPMyadmin module or Xoops

I have taken the PHPMyadmin module completely off the server to avoid any further cause for concern. But it sorta looks like to me that someone found a way to use the PHPMyadmin module to get access to the database.

so I think that there are more problems related to the Mail User function..

malexandria I think that our problem is related also to the fact that we cannot edit the group of registered user and we cannot modify users

actually I have still no ideas on what happen

Best Regards,
Semzer.

I had the same problem, I get a blank page when a try to send an email to registered users; but by me it works with the group of administrators. Herko, have you the same behaviour?


that's what happens to me. I'm able to send to groups that have really small numbers, like my webmaster and writers group, but I can't send to the registered users group.
