Input passed via the "myusername" parameter to admin/admin_class.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation allows e.g. logging in as administrator without valid user credentials. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
