I don't think that's what happened to us. That post is a year old, and I'm pretty sure we were using 1.1.11, and the exploit was patched in 1.1.9.

You're right, it is a year old. This little bastard stuck it in way back when, and somehow it never got accessed until today. Check it out:

Code: [Select]

...

Whoops, scratch that. The forum goes whitescreen on me when I try to post it. Just close your eyes and imagine a bunch of jpeg gobbledygook with a very cute bit of PHPscript nestled into it. So, apparently they either didn't patch it very well, or we broke the seal somehow. Which of you dicklesses shut off the power grid?

Anyway, with that mystery solved, I can now move on to removing the problem and then my work will be done. ...oh, except for fixing the vast amount of shit I broke while blindly trying to enact a solution, of course.

In case you need more proof in your pudding and/or are curious, here's the report on how fucked up we got.

If someone has a snappier title for this split thread than I do, by all means suggest it.

Oh dear god, we've lost quick reply. All is lost.

As much as it bites my dick, getting rid of Kabbage's apatosaurus is the quickest way to fix the most pressing issues.

(Fun fact: Firefox's spellcheck will flag apatosaurus and replace it with brontosaurus.)

Anyway, quick fixes are probably a good thing right now because I'm reaching the point where I might fuck something up completely if I try to dig too deep, simply out of sheer exhaustion.

Okay, I'm going to bed.

Sorry for leaving the site the color of a Violet Beauregarde, but tomorrow I need to make a case for why my boss should convert me to full time and start giving me a shitload more money.

I'll try mentioning I stopped the fucking Russian Mafia from hacking my forum last night, which is actually kind of relevant to what I do, but I don't think she's going to be very impressed anyway.

Brent installed some software, and now the dinosaurs are dead. Probably killed by an asteroid, or something. Are you sure you're actually fixing the forum software, and not some other program altogether?

Seriously, though, thanks for working on this.

Mongrel · « **Reply #32 on:** May 28, 2010, 02:59:50 AM »

Somebody better buy Brent a drink after all this crap he's doin' for us.

So it is like Snow Crash.

I still have a copy of index.php and the various style sheets laying on my desktop from when I last upgraded the theme - let me know if you need either.

I'll try and get the Bronto theme up and working later tonight.

Am I at risk for having poked around the directory of the forum or should I not be worried. avast! was running but didn't help.

Bad news, Ziiro: If you are running SMF as an operating system you are FUUUUUCKED

Detonator · « **Reply #37 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:38:31 AM »

Bad news Ziiro: you are using Avast!
