Altough I removed the code_snippets folder immediatley on all my site, my VP server (red hat) was hacked and 7 site are down now for 5 days (hope I get them back today).

In the web root directory, there are 2 files:
scan.php
sh.php

The sh.php has the following comment in it:
<!--
Defacing Tool 2.0 by r3v3ng4ns

se for modificar o codigo, por favor, mantenha o nome de seus autores originais
e por favor, entre em contato comigo...

ae galera, serio, tem mta gente fdp q simplismente usa, nao seja soh um sucker do script,
n seja um lammer imbecil, n seja o merda dum script kiddie, n seja um babaca, ajude a melhora-lo tambem!!
-->
I don't know all the programme is doing, the result was the following:
Still working: SSH access, apache web server
Not working anymore: FTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, MySQL

Be careful and remove the indicated code parts immediatley to avoid the problem and potentially loosing data or at least a LOT OF TIME re-installing and restoing everything. Since ftp was not working anymore, I was using WinSCP that allows you downloads of data from the affected sever - very helpful.

Sorry I don't think that the problem has to do with phpwcms!

Seems there are multiple different possible php projects having that problem. And phpwcms does not use this package.


But still - upgrade your system!!!

Oliver, I'll do the update by reinstalling all sites. Concerning the way of introduction into the server, I'm not expert enough to understand how all that works. phpWCMS is the only package I use this server.
