Back in December our server was hijacked and filled with crappy phishing stuff. Our website was lost and Avast! flagged it as phishing site. Back then, we decided it was time for a change and cancelled our old VPS.
Basically, we get a new VPS with new IP and we created a website from scratch, did not use anything from the old site, just to make sure.
Additionally we perform weekly scans on it to make sure everything is on track.
However, despite the fact that this site has nothing shared with the old, except URL, Avast! Antivirus continues flagging it as Malware/Phishing site, getting those red popups saying “URL:MAL”
We are POSITIVE our site is in the clear zone, what can we do for you guys to unlist our site?
The site URL is: www.fuenn.com and www.fuenn.edu.ar (same site, one is just a redirection)
The following plugins were detected by reading the HTML source of the WordPress sites front page.
jquery-smooth-scroll 1.4.1 latest release (1.4.1) http://www.blogsynthesis.com/wordpress-jquery-smooth-scroll-plugin/
the-events-calendar 4.6.11.1 latest release (4.6.13) Update required
revslider
ninja-forms 3.2.16 latest release (3.2.21) Update required http://ninjaforms.com/
js_composer
wordpress-popup latest release (6.0.1) https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/hustle/
Plugins are a source of many security vulnerabilities within WordPress installations, always keep them updated to the latest version available and check the developers plugin page for information about security related updates and fixes.
Configuration issues
Warning User Enumeration is possible
The first two user ID’s were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.
ID User Login
1 None ad
2 None marcelogmarquez
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.
Warning Directory Indexing Enabled
In the test we attempted to list the directory contents of the uploads and plugins folders to determine if Directory Indexing is enabled. This is an information leakage vulnerability that can reveal sensitive information regarding your site configuration or content.
/wp-content/uploads/ enabled
/wp-content/plugins/ disabled
Directory indexing was tested on the /wp-content/uploads/ and /wp-content/plugins/ directores. Note that other directories may have this web server feature enabled, so ensure you check other folders in your installation. It is good practice to ensure directory indexing is disabled for your full WordPress installation either through the web server configuration or .htaccess.
Wait for an avast team member to give a final verdict, probably based on that IP alert.
We here are just volunteers with relevant knowledge, but only avast team members can come and unblock.
