http://secunia.com/advisories/26262/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHP-Blogger 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/10966/

DESCRIPTION:
darthballs has discovered a security issue in PHP-Blogger, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the administrator password hash
being insecurely placed in data/pref.db. This can be exploited to
retrieve the MD5 administrator password hash via URL requests.

NOTE: This can be exploited to bypass authentication by creating a
cookie named "key" with the value of the MD5 administrator password
hash.

The security issue is confirmed in version 2.2.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the "data" directory (e.g. with an ".htaccess"
file).
