I am running 3.5.4, so now I know which ones to remove...didn't even think about those numbers meaning that..oops!

Thanks for the help everyone!

The little buggers used the hole to install a shell script and an IRC relay service; they then went through my web directory and replaced all my index files with "you've been hacked" files. It took me a few hours to get everything off the server; but then they struck again via a security flaw in SiteBuilder - fortunately I caught that one live and stopped them before they could do anything.

You are only as secure as your weakest script; if you are like me and like to offer your users a variety of add-ons to your websites, then it makes sense you would want to keep up on any updates to those pieces. I was a version or two behind on FlashChat (update a mere few months ago).

That's why I built www.flasherize.com, the chat can't be hacked.

Anyone with Flashchat integrated with their VB should remove all the files from /chat/inc/cmses/ except the vbulletin##CMS.php file they are using (where ## is either 30, 35 or 36) as they are not used.

So let me get this right. I just deleted EVERY file inside the directory you specified EXCEPT vbulletin36cms.php due to I run vBulletin 3.6. So this will fix the hole in Flashchat so I don't get hacked? Thanks!

if you have high traffic, use IRC server. its much better and stable for high high high traffic forums.

i went from holding 100+ users in the flash chat and laggy as hell to 600+ users in the irc server smooth sailing.
