Piwigo Malware?

Hello/Hi/Greetings,

My hosting company supplies a free malware scan run by Sitelock.

Up till recently all has been fine, however now sitelock is reporting malware.

Looking at the piwigo settings I cannot see any problems, but then I guess I wouldn't.
The only user accounts at present are my own.

Any else had similar issues?

Piwigo version: 2.9.4
PHP version: 7.0.15
MySQL version: 5.6.37-82.2-log
Piwigo URL: http://www.digitography.co.uk

More information would be helpful.  What type of malware, what files affected, why?

Re: Piwigo Malware?

Unfortunately Sitelock do not give you that information, just
Hey you got malware.
They want you to sign up at $30 a month so they can "Protect you". Sounds like a scam, but it is genuine.
At the time it happened I was uploading a lot of data, and it's possilble that may have triggered something.
I get another scan in a few days I'll see what that reports.
Worst case I delete the install and start again.

Re: Piwigo Malware?

Just a heads.
A good outcome from this.

The Sitelock scan was picking up on a couple a spambots that had managed to register.
Once I turned off user registration Sitelock no longer picked up the spambots, and therefore reported no errors.

I will open up user registration once I have some kind of registration Captcha type check.

Thanks as usual for the replies, and help.
