Dubbed Santy.e, the worm differs significantly from its predecessors, said Moscow-based Kaspersky Labs in an alert. Rather than target only those Web sites running phpBB, software for creating Internet forums using the PHP scripting language, the worm can exploit any site that's left allowed arbitrary file inclusion into PHP scripts.
"This can only be prevented with decent, secure coding," said Kaspersky Labs. "Every site [that uses PHP] is potentially in danger."
