Yes, there is an unpatched vBulletin exploit that has hit a number of forums so far.  There is a thread about it at Moo Bunny:

If anyone can reach Pyromania or the other mods quickly then please do so. I don't see any of them online at the moment.



I'm here

Hi All,

On my Windows XP machine my AV, Avira Anti-Virus 10.0.0.567 has just started complaining when I visit this site. Is this a false positive? (I'm assuming it is.) The infected file details are very vague and I can't find a proper description online of the type of infection.

Any ideas anyone? I've attached a couple of sreenshots.

Thanks,
Robin.


I just now accessed the site after Karlos did some cleanup and I get no warning messages using Avira AntiVirus under a Windows Virtual Machine. Could you try your Avira again and make sure it no longer gives you a warning?

@x56h34 & matt020

If you have time could you please check with your Avira as well?

Have you actually done the forensics and figured out how the security was breached and the websites modified? Have you actually fixed the vulnerability that was used?

Just removing the modifications done by the attacker will not work.



Your right of course and we already know this. Measures are being taken to fix the vulnerability that was used.
