Description:
Paul Craig has reported a vulnerability in Mailworks, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass the user authentication.
The problem is that the application doesn't verify if a user is logged on. It merely checks if a cookie with the appropriate "uId" and "auth" parameters is set.
Successful exploitation allows a malicious person to log on as any user.
