If it does work and there is not a fix, remove that extension or apply the fix yourself which you can get help on at forum. There is a clear appetite for Hackers to look into vulnerabilities in CMS software, and more important — custom plugins. In a webinar that I recently delivered we have looked into a live botnet, that not only uses WordPress as a platform to hack into, but then inject malicious software, install a bot on the server and adding it to the botnet, and then using zombies to continue grow the botnet.
Its a funny game, since most companies want their CMS up and running, small maintenance windows, and minimum amount of involved developers hey, we sourced software… it has to be safe while most of the useful plugins used in order to decorate, add functionality and run the website — include vulnerabilities in them. About sixty percent of these are Joomla 1. There are a couple of other bugs in this release that are used as well as the recently discovered one. Though patches have been published for these, many sites are still vulnerable.
One is a SQL injection attack that allows you to reset the administrator password, and the other is in the JCE plug in which allows you to upload a. We see this being used in the wild to compromise domains. However, it is by no means the only tool used. If a Joomla site is vulnerable we usually see three or four different successful attacks, with several different spammers using the site for call to action URLs, and sometimes sending spam or hosting landing pages.
We also see one click DDOS tools. Geezuz, this is so simple a bug, its crazy. I dont use the software anymore but, I am sure there is alot of users who still run it, even extremely older versions. When I tried this software in the past, and it was at best, clunky. I opted to use a different software which offers updates to the skins and software on a pretty regular basis. One in particular software was a shopping cart, but I do not know how much internal workings of the Joomla product was imbedded into it.
If it would still accept the PHP file to be uploaded this is not a real patch. If Joomla! Then select the extension you wish to update and click the Update icon. The process is fully automatic and you are going to receive messagesand hints, depending on the extension, while updating.

Post by PhilD » Sun Jun 05, pm Just be aware that the sucuri net scanner will not find all hacks. I was very dissapointed that we had one very recently on the forums here that the scanner said the site was all well and when you inspected the generated source in firefox there was the hack in index. Unmask parasites did not find the same hack either So both online site scanners failed to find a hack that I considered out in the open as the site was actively trying to attack visitors to it.
But I actually think the poster is actually asking in the quote Is there some sort of software or script I can use which will scan a site and find vulnerabilities?
