Intrusion attempt while forums were loading.


Vagrant0

Recommended Posts

When loading the main page, my antivirus detected a threat from a forced download.

 

originated from eyecstudio.com 74.220.207.77

url : eyecstudio.com/magento/media/import/backup/pdf.php?f=all

 

 

At the time I had just recently started my browser, was moving from my own forums over at Infisionfree to the forums here, and was loading up windows live (did not log in). My computer has been on for atleast the last 36 hours, so this was likely the result of one of those things being used. Browser used is firefox.

Confirmed, I hit this just now while trying to load the index page. It forced open a PDF file with a random useless string. No apparent damage but certainly not expected. Same URL.

I just got the same thing. A couple of minutes earlier whe I tried to access the forums, I just got an error message that said I could not connect to the website. Dunno if it has anything to do with that, just thought that I should mention it.

 

Edit: I just searched for 'eyecstudio.com' at Google, and one of the pages showed this ( did not click the link, this is only what Google showed:

Zone-H.org - Unrestricted Information - Digital Attacks Archive ...

Looks strange...

I've temporarily fixed this issue, but Friday nights aren't a good time for me (in the middle of a house party for a friend!) and I haven't been able to patch the underlying issue that's caused this. It's an SQL injection caused by some insecurity in the forum code. If you notice it again before I can get the problem patched let me know...it's easy to remove.

I hope the newer version actually fixes the security issue. We are not very far behind on updates though.

 

EDIT (3/9/2009): We are currently on the newest release of the IP.Boards and the hole is now closed.
