Forum software attack - jasondbaker - 11-18-2008 I discovered a software injection attack on the wiscuba site this morning. I first noticed the attack on the mnscuba site. I discovered that the evildoer used a vulnerability in the Coppermine gallery software to rewrite some of the SMF forum files. Sneaky bastard. They used this same vulnerability to patch files on the mnscuba site as well. I upgraded the Coppermine gallery software to the latest version and I cleaned out the code changes the script kiddie made. Hopefully he is gone. I may need to install some extra security safeguards to ensure he was fully removed. I apologize for the inconvenience.
