We'd just like to point out you should always be cautious when choosing your modules/plugins.

Always make sure to read te bukkit forum post where you downloaded the plugin from and see if you notice any negative comments or complaints about the plugin before installing it.

From World of Notch:

When you install a mod, the mods gets full access to your computer, and can do ANYTHING to it.
Make sure you absolutely trust the source before installing any such mods.This applies to both server mods and client mods.

I don’t know which mods are the culprits.

When the modding support is added, there will be support for sandboxing mods to give them less access to important stuff. You can chose to trust a mod if you want to, and if it needs to do fancy things, but the default will be to run the mod sandboxed.
