Description

I'm unsure if this should be reported as a bug, but I'll try since it's possibly a flaw.

I've recently received spam which seems to be generated by index.php I've done some search for people with similar experience, but I've not found much, only this thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/220946?replies=3 (I've posted the third message). My webhost says the problem is related to index.php and hence Wordpress' and my problem. I've inspected the file and from what I can tell it is clean. I've tried the new Exploit Scanner plugin which returns none. I've posted the headers of one of the spam e-mails below:

Yours,

Lars

Hi OiPenguin. Trac is not the place to post technical support issues. Please visit the support forums or coordinate with your webhost again. Create a new ticket here if you find a flaw in the original WordPress code.
