The vulnerability is caused due to improper authentication for posted messages. This can be exploited to bypass the "Only to registered users" configuration setting and post messages with an arbitrary user name via index.php (when "option" is set to "com_kide" and "task" is set to "insertar"). The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.4.6. Other versions may also be vulnerable. SOLUTION: Do not rely on the product's user restriction.
