So thats why MalwareBytes gave me this message yesterday.
Wow that's cool. How did malwarebytes know the website was compromised ?
I think it sees that the browser is trying to execute code that is suspicious (the payload of the XSS was pretty obvious).
probably looking for obvious patterns like
"onload="...
in image and link tags, because an onload event handler would usually never be put in those tags otherwise so the only plausible explanation is that it's a XSS attackI wish I knew. I tried logging into Lemmy yesterday and I was kept giving this message. I thought it might be relevant and saved this snip. I am only about to post this pic now. I did whitelist Lemmy on Malwarebytes after as well.
Interestingly, here is a log when browsing Lemmy over the last week or so.
Believe the derp.foo and .today are both federated instances. Don't know what the other rows are.
Admin of derp.foo here. My best guess is Hetzner gave me an IP that had been used to host a botnet C&C before. As a precaution I switched to a new VPS; please contact me via matrix at @irdc:tchncs.de if the problem persists.
