I am trying to troubleshoot and resolve this error. I have been getting it since recovering from hack which damaged my db. That part is fixed but this error remains.


Backtrace information


File: Security.php (various lines)

URL of page causing the error - various but they are links to attachments.



    #0: smf_error_handler()
    Called from /Sources/Security.php on line 348
    #1: is_not_banned()
    Called from /index.php on line 237
    #2: smf_main()
    Called from /index.php on line 191



What I just noticed is that they are all coming from same IP as "Guest". Could this be the hacker? Should I block the IP?



SMF 2.1.2
PHP Version 7.4.30
MySQL Version    10.3.28-MariaDB-cll-lve
No mods installed in SMF

I would. At least temporarily. When banning IPs you run the risk of banning legitimate users.

No ...   the issue has (99.99% chance) nothing to do with a hack at all.

The issue you are seeing is because the data passed in a security check is incorrect, possibly due to a mod.

Kindred, Can you please elaborate?

We don't have any modifications installed.
