The sk2_second_chance.php includes wp-config.php after an output is already done. This causes “cannot modify header information” errors if other plugins need to send a header (for example to set a cookie) via the init- or plugins_loaded- hook of WordPress. For example the error occurs with the plugin “ozh-who-sees-ads” on http://www.meinungs-blog.de/ich-brauch-mal-eure-hilfe-bei-wordpress/

Simple fix: In sk2_second_chance.php the config has to be loaded first. Insert a new line with the wp-config.php inclusion code at the very top of sk2_second_chance.php:

Than remove the old wp-config.php inclusion line (old line 3, now line 4):
require_once(‘../../../wp-config.php’);

It hit the filters for no javascript (I know the user, and they disable javascript) and for no encrypted payload.

Even if it hit those filters legitimately, the user shouldn’t have seen this message.

When I pulled it from the fire, there was another legitimate comment in there that I could see amongst the rubbish. I have been unable to reproduce the effect using firefox, msie with javascript either on or off.
