Two of my clients sites are being hacked by having javascript code inserted to display Google Adsense adverts. One site is using VPASP 6.5 on MSSQL and the other is using V7 on MySQL.

Ive checked with my hosting company and they say this is caused by an "application exploit" or an XSS - in other words, putting the blame on the ASP scripts. Personally I dont believe them and I think the problem is on their server. Ive been using VPASP for years and never experienced this before.

Howerver, I have to say to my client that I asked VPASP about any possible vunerabilities in the code that would allow XSS attacks.

Ive taken all the documented security precautions set out in the VPASP manuals and as far as I can see, all possible user input is properly sanitized before being sent to the server.

Does anyone have any thought or comments about all this?

Expected statement
