United Bangladeshi Hackers. The WordPress Exploit

[color=#FF00]Link (Dangerous): [/color] http://aliciabayer.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/master_mkiaz5/

This attack results in defacing the WordPress site, disabling most or all installed plugins, and installing a payload onto the website which is a phishing attack that attempts to collect login information posing as a legitimate login to a well-known utility or financial institution. We have identified some commonalities among the exploits:

  • Always targets the first configured user of a WordPress installation.
  • First configured user is changed to username “hex” and password is changed to unknown string.
  • All legitimately installed plugins are disabled.
  • A new plugin is installed called “UBH CSU” which may allow shell access to the site (if allowed by server rules).
