I am running a Wordpress website and I've recently found this php code injected in many of my php files. https://www.unphp.net/decode/fb4715ee71b28135f6807389df42611c/

I tried adding some print_r(get_defined_vars()) at the end of my php file and executing the script using php-cli. I've found out that the malicious code constructs an array which it populates with 3 php functions: strrev, create_function written backwards and str_replace - same.

Here's my variables dump - don't mind the numbers, that's just from vim :

    [hpcwubg] => Array
232         (                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
233             [0] => STrrEv
234             [1] => NoITCnuF_EtaeRC
235             [2] => ECaLPer_RtS
236         )
237 
238     [pnmizyj] => >!#]y84]275]y83]248]y83]256]y81]265]y72]254]y76#<!%w:!>!(%w68]y7f#<!%tww!>!›   x2400~:<h%_t%:osvufs:~:<*9-1-r%)s%>/h%:!>!%yy)#}#-#›x24-›   x24151› x64"))) { $ulxsqmc = "› x63›162›x65›141›x74›145›x5f›146›x75›156sset($#
239     [jbopckwkcc] => StR_rePLaCE

Another thing worth mentioning is that I've found this small code section injected in W3TC latest version plugin files, which I found really odd. Is it spreading somehow?

Can anyone help me understand what is the actual purpose of that obfuscated code? I see it in a hell lot of wordpress files but I can't find any signs of unintended/bad content being exposed in my website.

Post re-edited as to insert php code.

    This should be considered normal when running Wordpress. Switch that pile of garbage for something decent, like Ghost or even a static website. (in case you didn't understand my sarcasm: you got compromised, reinstall your server but don't reinstall WP) – André Borie Jun 28 '16 at 12:36
  • There is nothing harmful i can see in the code you provided. But this may being included into other php files to do malicious things. As Andre said most probably you are compromised. – Sravan Jun 28 '16 at 13:17
