Netcraft: Santy Worm Spreads Through phpBB Forums

This Netcraft

The Santy worm is written in Perl, and exploits a flaw in a file called viewtopic.php that allows an SQL injection exploit, in which SQL database commands typed into a web form can be executed.

While this site does not use phpBB it does use the PHP scripting language and simular exploits where found in PHP and earlier version of this Blog software.
