Sorry, I'm not going to download all these web resources, just to check what they might possibly do. It's some sort of root access acquisition attempt or similar, but what's most important is that you should secure your site.

Hosting companies do not often offer support on private owners issues like security, but rather they are responsible only for the hosting environment, though some UAP might suggest proactive measures being undertaken in order to avoid bigger incident.
Back in my security officer days, I have personally disabled / renamed insecure customer scripts / pieces of code, as spammers, for example, are very keen to use them in a short periods of time, which usually causes this particular hosting server to get blacklisted at major providers.

So, bottom line - inspect your site, if you are sure (got a confirmation) that this is isolated issue, and not a hosting env. one.
