Malicious Javascript Code infected my blogs

It happened since yesterday. When I was checking my blogs, I got this error message in every page.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<’ in /home/$myhomedir$/public_html/wp-includes/default-widgets.php on line 1034

I immediately open default-widgets.php in wp-includes directory by using notepad, followed by pressing CTRL + G to go to line#1034. I’m very susprised when I found these codes were exist in default-widgets.php.



I also found similar malicious code from Google.

The 1st code above will load another malicious script from http://google-cn.msn.ca.shoplocal-com.easymusicstore.ru:8080/interia.pl/interia.pl/google.com/empflix.com/debonairblog.com/, while the 2nd code above will load another malicious script from http://live.com.google.com.baidu-msn.com.bestartsale.ru:8080/wordpress.com/google-mail.it/livejasmin-photobucket.com/cnet-cnn.com/about-ebay.com/

I could accessing my iPhone blog, though another error appeared:
Can not modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …
At the same time, InternetDownloadManager asked me to download ChangeLog.pdf from http://google-cn.msn.ca.shoplocal-com.easymusicstore.ru:8080/pics/ChangeLog.pdf and MBAM (Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware) detected C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\0.5147965079164781.exe (random file name) as Trojan.Dropper. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 couldn’t detect it, but Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 detected it as unknow threat UDS: DangerousObject.Multi.Generic with High criticality.

I understand that I was being infected by a virus, though I had no idea what kind of virus was that. Searched via Google by using <script>/*GNU GPL*/ try{window.onload as a keyword, didn’t help much, while using setAttribute(‘id’, `myscript1`) just displaying list of websites, which has been infected. Last but not least, I used setAttribute(‘id’, `myscript1`) virus as keyword, then it refer me to WebHostingTalk.nl. I got a little enlightenment about what I was dealing with.

So, its name is Gumblar. You can find further information about Gumblar on Unmask Parasites Blog, Wikipedia, or ISS.net. I got alot of useful information.
However, I might be infected by its variant, because it wasn’t inject iframe, no base64 code, no images.php file, and even different code.

The one I got spreading itself by infected all javascript files (*.js) and index files (*index*, *default*). www.ryan-isra.net, which is hosted on same hosting also infected. So far, I suspected that either my Windows XP has infected a keylogger or someone is sniffing my network traffic :D

Now, my wordpress blog has been disinfected.

what most people search here: UDS:DangerousObject Multi Generic, js/infected a, malicious javascript code, js/infected c wordpress, js/infected c, js infected a, js infected, javascript enlightenment pdf, infected js, UDS:Dangerous Object Multi Generic, uds dangerous object multigeneric, js/infected c java script virus

    Yes, got it too and my assumption is that my own computer has been hacked. Two days ago in the evening it started bevaving strangely and I got a warning about a trojan which I thought was blocked. The next morning I had most of my websites changed with the code.

    That seems to be working, just notified google to do another review of my site because it’s now reported as a threat. Tnx Ryan!

    What did you do to fix it? I'm still having a blank screen and lots of infected .js, index default files.

      I replaced the wp-admin and wp-includes directories, because I never made any changes.
      Then, I zipped all files in wp-content, download it, replace all malicious code using notepad++, then re-upload it.
