Malware on the site?

[CockroachMan]

Entering GBAtemp.net using Google Chrome I got a warning message:

Could be something someone posted in the shoutbox, I dunno, couldn't find anything.. Also, I never had that until now (check the post's timestamp).. now it's appearing every time I visit the front page..

Well, it's not something posted on the shoutbox, it's not the same kind of attack like last time, and I don't see anything fishy in the code.

I'm going to go ahead and close the forum until Costello can take a look at it.

Close the entire forum?

SHIT BITCH

Close the entire forum?

It needs to be done. I'm sure you can survive the forum being closed for awhile.

Good idea jumpman

Close the entire forum?

Well, something isn't right and I don't know if it's infecting people's computers or not. I've done everything I can and it didn't fix the problem.

[CockroachMan]

And it seems to be clean now..

2nd time this happens this week... any explanations?

 

[Costello]

The first time, I spoke to Narin and I thought he was going to fix it but apparently I misunderstood him because he didn't.
It happened again today so I took a look and fixed the vulnerability, following the instructions given on the above link.
I did it this morning BUT apparently it didnt completely fix it :/ because it happened a 3rd time later today.
Anyhow I'm trying to figure out a way to completely prevent this, and I think I have a solution.

So... is the problem still around? Kaspersky isn't telling me anything and Firefox isn't either. Luckily all of this happened while I was sleeping.
