Hello Leupold,

I went into the DNN database and started looking through tables.

After some investigation I found a table called TabModules tables and inside it an entry for Tabid 649 with a corresponding moduleID number I researched in the Modules table.

I found out the webiste and the modules which are both core HTML modules.

While the first attacks on the older versions of the HTML and Feedback modules might have been successful I doubt the last times they managed to pass through these.. hopefully..

They probably tried. I found another entry on another website still targeting the HTML module.

Re: DNN 6.2.9 under attack

you may simply query the database by using the following statement:
SELECT * FROM vw_tabmodules WHERE tabid = 649
I am not aware of the HTML module itself using query parameters, there must be another module on this page.
to get the page details, run
SELECT * FROM tabs WHERE tabid = 649

Cheers from Germany,
Sebastian Leupold

Edoardo,
Another thing to check....
What types of files are allowed to be uploaded to the sites as listed in Host, Host Settings?

I'd say the usual ones. Here is the list I got from Host - Host settings.

Is the double comma between zip and htmtemplate supposed to be there?

template,docx,xlsx,pptx,swf,jpg,jpeg,jpe,gif,bmp,png,doc,xls,ppt,pdf,txt,xml,xsl,css,zip,,htmtemplate,ico,avi,mpg,mpeg,mp3,wmv,mov,wav
