    This does not look good. Especially if you're finding it all over.

    Personally I'd lock down any account I found that on and then start worrying that my entire server was compromised. At the very least you have some sort of script that has been compromised, surely.

    Moving to apache2.x with suphp and mod_security would help some, making sure every single script (vbulletin, Joomla, *.nuke and so on) are up to date or locked down, would help as well.

    Don't ignore this.

    It still isn't a CPanel issue, talk to Vbulletin about it..

    Also, it is _probably_ a vbulletin module, if you ask Vbulletin they will tell you.

    I don't see how this is a "security risk", seen as it is indeed in the Admin Panel..

    Are you out just to cause worry?

    If you don't recognize it, you'll just have to trust me that that image posted above is not a vbulletin module and is not safe to have on your server.

    I've seen that hack in English and it's usually used on php sites like nuke. They normally use it to upload scripts to the hacked account. It's not a server hack. But I cant remember the name of it. I would also check all of the folders on that account for any unusual files and folders and remove them. Then tell the client to update any software they are using.

    From the image attached to your posting, it looks like a phpshell script such as c99 or r57. Make sure your server is not compromised.

    and more info at
    CrackerTracker - A Protection System from http://www.cback.de
