Hi @Fauji_Nurdin,

It seems as though the tempnam PHP function is failing for some reason – possibly because it’s being asked to create a file in a directory it doesn’t have access to (based on the sys_get_temp_dir function.

Check that the sys_temp_dir directive in php.ini is set properly, and that PHP has permission to write files there.

I have Already check The sys_temp_dir and its has a write permission, But Affter I check Deeply and try to Scan using AMWScan i found that journal Being Hacked by Online Gambling Then Injected malware to the journal …and After Sacaning i Got the malware and Clen it Up then upgrade it to 3.4.0.9
they create index.php inside A plugin folder

/public_html/backupejournal/plugins/importexport/quickSubmit/classes/form/files.php

Hi @Fauji_Nurdin,

What was the files_dir setting in your config.inc.php?

[files]

; Complete path to directory to store uploaded files
; (This directory should not be directly web-accessible)
; Windows users should use forward slashes
files_dir = /DATA/stitduko/ojsdata

; Path to the directory to store public uploaded files
; (This directory should be web-accessible and the specified path
; should be relative to the base OJS directory)
; Windows users should use forward slashes
public_files_dir = public Permision

Hi @Fauji_Nurdin,

Thanks, that looks OK. We are aware of automated attacks against older releases of OJS, but 3.4.0-8 or 3.4.0-9. If you upgraded recently, it’s likely that the attack happened against the previous version.

I would suggest reviewing your journal_settings tables for any unexpected Javascript, and changing any admin or journal manager passwords, in addition to cleaning up your installation area.

If you’re able to shed any light on the means of attack, please let me know; investigating this is a little out of scope for the forum, but I’d start by looking at the file creation dates of the unexpected files and correlating them against the access log.
