Till about an hour ago my Drupal 7 site was working fine. But now when I access the login page (/user) I get an You are not authorized to access this page

So I checked the node_access table and I see a record for anonymous users - 0 0 all 1 0 0

I checked the sessions table and it didn't seem to be corrupted. But nevertheless cleared the records. But I am still unable to access the login page

The last time we applied a module update was 10 days back so I don't think its got to do anything with the module code written by us.

I am at my wits end! Have anyone of you faced a similar issue?

EDIT 21st Oct 2014 : A link that explains the exploit - is here

  • Depending on the Drupal version you are on there was a severe anonymous hack. We had the same issue on one of our sites where I work. We looked into the database tables and noticed that the menu_router table had access callback changed for the user entry. I would start looking there. Oct 20, 2014 at 14:08
  • We are finding out that there are more injections in the tables... not just on the /user menu_router. If I were you, I would restore my database from a backup file. Hopefully you have a nightly backup of your database. Oct 20, 2014 at 14:13
  • I found that the menu_router table had the access_callback set to php_eval for the /user path. Updated it to 1. Oct 20, 2014 at 14:24
  • I have a backup of 15th Oct. Restoring it and comparing the Drupal tables Oct 20, 2014 at 14:30
  • I just confirmed with the operations team and this is also what they had found. However, they found it in more tables besides the menu_router table. So if you have a backup that you can go do without losing a lot of data; That would be the way to go. Oct 20, 2014 at 14:31
