This is already a few days old, but I haven't seen anything about it here, so I thought I'd post it...

Originally published as a mambo exploit, the simplefaq component for joomla is also vulnerable to the following attack,

Hence I urge everyone using simplefaq to either update to the latest version or uninstall it.

Hope I'm saving some people from getting defaced here.... ;)

moderator note: Thanks for the heads up, though please don't post exploitable hacks on the forum please. Thanks for understanding.

It is actively developed from the developers here: http://www.parkviewconsultants.com/. The current version is 2.40, whereas the vulnerable version is marked down as 2.11. Don't know if the latest version also has this vulnerability.

When I check that link I think this problem is not solved or your site is hacked or there is some other problem? There are many Warnings message when I try this link?

I think you fix this quickly.

Regards,

Shart

ps. there is image what I see when I try that link

If I open the site to download the update I get a Virus waring
HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen - Malware

This ofcourse does make me wonder if I should use that product at all.
