Does this mean that there is a security hole in WP and Joomla? Or perhaps the culprits are finding holes via other scripts on the same server?

At this time, I'm not sure other than the Joomla site is one I put up just last weekend for someone so I doubt there is any other script they could be going through. I've contacted my host to see if it can be tracked back but havent' heard from them.

But the one common thread I have found is that they only seem to be affecting the default templates.

This is the only additional info I have:

We've removed the javascript server side.
This is not necessarily a Joomla exploit.
It is definitely a php exploit that we are looking in to.
