Glenn,

It's almost certainly an SQL injection attack that inserted the line
of code above to all your HTML pages. These have become very common
lately.

I wrote a diary describing such an attack at

Cheers,

Thanks, everyone, for your informative replies. I feel a little sheepish for not having heard of the Midhena virus prior to this, but as many of you pointed out, that seems to have been what got us.


I wish I could update our CMS (if the vendor still supported it, instead of having moved on to deploying Plone sites!) I do believe I know the entry point of the SQL injection, however, and have a good backup of the database from just prior to the attack to roll back to.

Thanks again!
