The backdooring of WordPressThe backdooring of WordPressPosted Mar 8, 2007 13:02 UTC (Thu) by cate (subscriber, #1359)In reply to: The backdooring of WordPress by tialaramex Parent article: The backdooring of WordPress
I remember that also the kernel had a similar problem: someone inserted a backdoor in the CVS tree (the back-end of BK for some developers). Lucky not a lot of people used that version and it was discovered in one single day.
{debian machines was also attacked, but AFAIK no files were altered).
So I think that what happened to WordPress could happen also to other projects (hoping that there are no undiscovered backdoors in the wild).

The kernel bug was discovered fast because there was a nightly process updating CVS from BitKeeper - it tripped over the trojanned CVS file.
Cheers,
