Sorry for the large image. Wanted to preserve the best view.
Anyone seen that before?
I imagine it is being caused by the string the hacker used.

It is the string the hacker used and yes I have seen it before and thought I had patched to protect against it showing it's ugly head again.

Can you send me a dump of the nuke_nsnst_ips table including the data so I can test to make a better patch at webmaster(at)nukescripts(dot)net please.

Found it

Code:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.54  [ru"]

I had protected the query string display but not the user agent display. And this user agent has a " in it and threw the hole thing off. I'll make up a patch and post it once I have it done.

Okay here's the patch. Open admin/modules/sentinel.php in a text editor and find (around line 360):

Code:

          $ua = $getIPs['user_agent'];


          echo "<td>".info_img("<b>"._AB_USERAGENT.":</b> $ua<br /><br /><b>"._AB_QUERY.":</b> $qs", r)." <a href='http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=$lookupip' target='$lookupip'>".$getIPs['ip_addr']."</td>\n";

Add this between the two line:

Code:

          $ua = htmlentities($ua, ENT_QUOTES);

Should look like:

Code:

          $ua = $getIPs['user_agent'];


          $ua = htmlentities($ua, ENT_QUOTES);


          echo "<td>".info_img("<b>"._AB_USERAGENT.":</b> $ua<br /><br /><b>"._AB_QUERY.":</b> $qs", r)." <a href='http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=$lookupip' target='$lookupip'>".$getIPs['ip_addr']."</td>\n";

What damage could that have done if it was not blocked? Thanks.

I don't think it would do any damage. The IP was still blocked, it was simply the display in the Admin panel that was screwy. Just a cosmetic thing I think.

It was just a display issue on the admin page. It would not have cause any harm other then looking bad on your screen Smile
