Title: Py-Membres Secure.PHP Unauthorized Access Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Py-Membres is a php based content management system.

A vulnerability has been reported for Py-Membres that allows remote attackers to obtain administrative privileges on vulnerable installations.

The error lies in the 'secure.php' script. Reportedly, the script does not fully check some URI parameters. Thus it is possible for an attacker to manipulate URI parameters and log into the system as an administrative user without the need for passwords.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by setting the URI parameter 'adminpy' to 1.

Affected Products:

  • Py-Membres Py-Membres 4.0.0
