Pumpkin problem

Flippin, AR(Zone 7a)

I grew pumpkins for the 1st time this year. I got about 11 medium pumpkins. I wanted to use them to make stuff. They had worm holes in them, and white worms with a black head inside. I didn't think the worms would bother them that much but I'm having to throw them out because they stink. My pumpkins, and other squash got taken out by squash bugs too. I'm just wondering what kind of worms they were? Katie

Was it one of these?

They usually live in the vines, but I've known them to get into the fruits.
