Hi,

i have a question, i use geeklog 1.4.1, can anybody upload a file to my server via fckeditor?

i have been hacked, and i have 3 files uploaded by anybody to my images directory (public_html/images). One of this files is an php spy script. This directory had 777 permisions.

Thank you,
ismael

There was an issue a while back regarding uploads through FCKeditor. But even then FCKeditor won't let you upload .php files. You would still need a second security to do anything evil.

Do you know if the uploaded files only can be uploaded to the public_html/images directory or it is possible to upload to any other directory?

when the hacker can create a folder call "images" in your main public directory with the permission of 777 than they can change your site code and every thing. latter on your site will not show your index page but it will show the attacker home index page.

now I guess attacker still practice to hack the small site first, than the big next target site we don't know.

thanks.

PS. your situation same as me.

777 permisions are very big holes in the security. If you don't want to loose too much, make backups everyday (db and cms).

UID 1 is the pseudo account for anonymous users. So the above log entries only mean that a user that wasn't logged in tried to post spam. This is not at all security related.

No I don`t think so, every web account is different and the quality of your hoster may vary strongly. I don`t have any subdirectory with 777.

Unfortunately you did not reply if you read Dirk`s hint and if you had used it before the hacking: http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/file-uploads
