Hacking Attempt Targeting Silverstripe Files

Hans de Ruiter — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:16:14 +1200

This morning I had what appears to be an hour-long attempt to hack in to my website using code-injection exploits ([url=http://hdrlab.org.nz/a-hacking-attempt-targeting-the-silverstripe-cms/]see here[/url] for details). What makes this one different from all the other attempts that I've noticed so far is that they were targeting Silverstripe files (e.g., SSViewer.php). It looks like it failed, but perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge of Silverstripe's internals could take a closer look as to whether any of these attempts could work with a poorly configured server. The full log is available [url=http://hdrlab.org.nz/august-28-2008-hacking-attempt-that-targeted-silverstripe/]here[/url].

Basically, I'd like to know if this was a lame attempt, or if they might have found something.

Search Widget - Cannot Access More Information than $Title and $Link

Garrett Fisher — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:07:07 +1200

Hi,

I am trying to use the built-in Silverstripe Search widget to search my Blog only. So I have turned off the "Show in Search" checkbox on all objects in my CMS except for Blog Entries, and that works fine.

However, I cannot refer to variables which are specific to Blog Entries when displaying my Search Results. I can only access $Title and $Link. I would also like to include other information such as $ParagraphSummary, $Author, $Date, etc. etc. much like on the Blog landing page.

How can I achieve this? Is this because my SearchForm() is defined in Page.php instead of BlogHolder.php?

Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Garrett

It's not a password that is the login to the actual chat module.. not exactly built into silverstripe though.

Subscribed.

For an ajax call, I used this (had to modify it a bit):

Is that what you meant?

Most likely, yes.

This page helps describe how to limit search results in the section near the bottom - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=recipes:simplesearch

Might be a good start.

Hi Wojtek,

That link now has a password on it... how can we get hold of this cat module now?

Thanks,

Matt.

Re: Need help adding Widgets to pages other than blog

I do have the blog installed (still trying to figure out where to find the error log that might explain why I'm getting the blank blog page), but the pages on which I'm trying to install the widgets are just regular pages.

And does this mean that once I do get the blog up and running that I won't be able to install widgets on blog pages? Any suggestions for what I will need to do to fix that 2 widget area issue?

uploading new site to web host

I read the posts by carola and find myself in the same situation, even down to using Net24. Like her I got the PCW dvd and had a go. Like her I am a web noob. As much as I'd like to go down the same track and struggle every step of the way surely there is a "silverstripe for dummies" tutorial that explains in simple terms what you have to do to get your site posted ?
I'm hoping this will be soon as like carola I am paying for hosting I can't use at the moment. Perhaps publisher wasn't so bad..............

Gallery problems

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:26:17 +1200

I installed the gallery module.
The only files I can get the thing to display are from uploads (the default pics that came with the gallery module).

Ive tried putting site in "dev" mode. - no luck
I deleted gallery/templates/gallerypage.ss and made a new one in theme/mytheme/template/gallerypage.ss - no luck

I know this module works, because I can see sites where it is working. I am just running into a wall over and over again.

Anyone have any ideas?
