# ✅ AUTH FILES FIXED

**Date:** December 12, 2025  
**Status:** AUTH DIRECTORY ACCESS RESTORED

---

## 🔍 PROBLEM IDENTIFIED

The `auth/` directory had a **malicious `.htaccess` file** that was blocking access to all PHP files, including:
- `auth/login.php`
- `auth/register.php`
- `auth/forgot_password.php`
- `auth/reset_password.php`
- `auth/logout.php`

### The Malicious .htaccess Content:
```apache
<FilesMatch ".(py|exe|php)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
```

This was the **same malicious code** that was in the root `.htaccess` file - the attacker copied it to the `auth/` directory to block access to authentication pages.

---

## ✅ FIX APPLIED

**Removed malicious rules and restored clean configuration:**

**Before (BROKEN):**
```apache
<FilesMatch ".(py|exe|php)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "^(about.php|radio.php|index.php|content.php|lock360.php|admin.php|wp-login.php)$">
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```

**After (FIXED):**
```apache
# Allow PHP files in auth directory
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /auth/
</IfModule>
```

---

## ✅ VERIFICATION

**All auth files exist and are intact:**
- ✅ `auth/login.php` - EXISTS (30,566 bytes, modified Dec 4)
- ✅ `auth/register.php` - EXISTS (34,142 bytes, modified Dec 2)
- ✅ `auth/forgot_password.php` - EXISTS (12,507 bytes)
- ✅ `auth/reset_password.php` - EXISTS
- ✅ `auth/logout.php` - EXISTS (621 bytes)
- ✅ `auth/login_old.php` - EXISTS (backup)
- ✅ `auth/register_old.php` - EXISTS (backup)

**No malicious code found in auth files:**
- ✅ No attacker signatures
- ✅ Valid PHP code
- ✅ Proper security measures in place

---

## 🎯 RESULT

**Auth pages should now be accessible:**
- ✅ `/auth/login.php` - Should work now
- ✅ `/auth/register.php` - Should work now
- ✅ `/auth/forgot_password.php` - Should work now
- ✅ `/auth/reset_password.php` - Should work now
- ✅ `/auth/logout.php` - Should work now

---

## 🔍 WHY THIS HAPPENED

The attacker:
1. Modified root `.htaccess` to allow backdoor access
2. **Copied malicious rules to `auth/.htaccess`** to block authentication
3. This prevented users from logging in or registering
4. This may have been to prevent you from detecting the attack

---

## ⚠️ ADDITIONAL CHECKS NEEDED

**Check other directories for malicious .htaccess files:**
```bash
# Find all .htaccess files
find . -name ".htaccess" -type f

# Check for malicious patterns
grep -r "FilesMatch.*py.*exe.*php" . --include=".htaccess"
```

**Directories to check:**
- `config/` - May have malicious .htaccess
- `includes/` - May have malicious .htaccess
- `api/` - May have malicious .htaccess
- `assets/` - May have malicious .htaccess
- `components/` - May have malicious .htaccess

---

**Status:** ✅ **AUTH FILES ACCESS RESTORED**

The authentication pages should now be accessible. The malicious `.htaccess` file in the `auth/` directory has been removed and replaced with clean configuration.
