Hi,

I am looking for some help, if you visit my site MJTKOP.COM you will see that all the content seems to be pushed over to the left and if you view mjtkop.com/home/index.php with i.e then there seems to be some syntax error on line 74(bottom left of i.e window).

Also when I log in i get a blank page at admin.php, have I been hacked? I have no idea what has happened my site was wroking fine last night?

Anyone got any suggestions on how I should proceed, I really need to get into admin menu so I can close the site down till i've figured out what's went wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I also have another XOOPS site hosted on the same shared hosting account as an addon domain, http://www.michaeljosephjackson.net/main/ if you go there theres also a blank page going to http://www.michaeljosephjackson.net/main/user.php reveals the same thing as before everything seems pushed over to the left.

Could this have been some sort of issue with my host or server that could have caused this?

Thanks for your help

On checking my index.php page again I noticed this link added onto one of the links in the partners block Quote:

It now appears that somehow I have been hacked, but how? I thought XOOPS was secure, I am the only admin of the site and no one else has any admin or module admin rights?

I wil contact my host to see if they can shed any light.

In the meantime is there away I might get back into admin.php(blank page) I have a backup of my XOOPS db made using backup module but I dont know how to go about installing the backup throuhg phpmyadmin or anything, if any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

*****

Ive allerted my webhost, ive also password protected the XOOPS install incase you try and visit the site and wonder whats going on

Cheers.

There is a known vuln in XOOPS below 2.0.13 that involves xml-rpc. There is exploit code floating arount the net that alows any script kiddy to easily compromise your server.
If you were running a version below 2.0.13 then you were probably hit with this.

For everyone reading this:
If your running XOOPS version below 2.0.13UPDATE NOW!!!!

Hi, Im running XOOPS 2.0.13.1, I think thats the updated version that patched that vulnrability. There must be something else maybe?

Hi Kaotic,

Yes I have protector installed but I can not access admin area I just get a blank page when I try to goto the admin area, is there any other way to view protector logs?

For your information this is the code that seems to have been inserted into the partners block, I have no idea how they manage to mess my site up that bad though.

 <a href="http://simplykrissyoriginals.com/oxygen%2B2.21%2Bnokia%2Bcrack.php" class=giepoaytr target=_blank>oxygen 2.21 nokia cracka>

I'm hoping that my host will go throuhg the logs and find the culprit and ban them from the entire server.

Until then I have no idea how to fix my site, Im waiting toi see if my host has a recent backup they will install, I have db backups but the newest is 3 days old and I dont know how to install it.

Thanks.

It may be a hole somewhere else - and not on Xoops...

True, but I have another XOOPS install on the server that has been affected the same way, the only other php thing I have on the server is one of these mobile content kits from http://www.mediaplazza.com its all php pages but it requires no sql database, however this does not seem to be affected, you can see it here http://mobileworld.mjtkop.com

Thanks.

Hi,

I managed to get back into the admin area by deleting adminmenu.php in /cache.

What seems to have happened is this, the ugly, greasy hackers seem to have added there code
The big question is and I'm hoping someone here will have some sort of answer because im really curious, How did they manage to do this? A hole in xoops?(doubtful) a hole in the shared server? maybe but would i get my host to admit to this? maybe not, I would love to know how they did this atleast so I can make sure it wont happen again.

I would like to state also that this little incident in no way makes me doubtfull of xoops, XOOPS is an excellent CMS I have been using it for along time now and I will continue to use it, XOOPS kicks ass, even if this does turn out to be a hole in XOOPS I will still use it because its the best, unfortunatley these script kiddies have no life whatsoever and are constanlty coming up with new stuff to attack sites with. Sad Gits.
