Discussion

eFiction Index.PHP Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

eFiction is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability because the affected script fails to verify cookies properly and to perform other authentication checks. This lets a malicious user simply create an appropriately named cookie that allows administrative access to the application.

An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass authentication and gain admin access to the affected application. This could aid in further attacks on the affected computer.

Versions prior to 2.0.7 are affected; other versions may also be vulnerable.
