Important Vulnerability on Advanced Custom Fields Plugin for WordPress

Your web server's image processor could be malware hiding in plain sight.

I'm going to describe an interesting type of malware the Malware Intelligence Team recently uncovered during a recent research operation.

At the time of writing, there were 11,320 cases of it detected and neutralized on 265 websites across 183 servers.

It is a particularly ingenious and potentially destructive type of malware: it is designed to appear as a legitimate image processor, and can act as a backdoor to your web server.

In Imunify360 v4.2 beta, we introduced “Hooks”, a new way to handle asynchronous events coming from the Imunify agent. It works like a simple event handler. For example, you can create a script that will run when malware is detected (right after the on-demand or background scan is finished).

The updated version of the article came up and all the essentials of using Imunify Hooks are now covered in a short video, check here.

We no longer use ClamAV for malicious files detection, and keep it as a part of Imunify360 only for detecting suspicious files. Starting from Imunify360 v4.3, we're removing it completely.

We have a nice, new, time-saving tip over on the CloudLinux KnowledgeBase.

An unlucky upshot of running your own website or online store is that, sooner or later, hackers will add it to their ‘juicy list of prey’. Once in their list, hackers will continuously scan and probe your site for weaknesses, trying to find a way to further their illicit goals.
