Just to let you know that in wordpress I got hit on all my blogs where someone inserted spam links through an exploit. THe only way I could deal with it(the wordpress fix didn't work) was I had to rename the links.php file and links add.php file in the wp-admin folder. Just rename it back when you need to add links to your blogroll. _________________ oakland a's blog supplement store reviews
2.1. Anything with 2.1 or higher (maybe even 2.05) is vulnerable. 2.3 won't fix it as even they have been hit. I downloaded a patch at a site and that didn't help me or others either.
The only solution now is to watch your blogroll everyday until it happens, or just rename the said files to prevent it from happening, until a decent security fix comes out. _________________ oakland a's blog supplement store reviews
