Description:
OS2A has reported a vulnerability in Helpdesk software Hesk, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that it is possible to bypass the authentication process and access the administration section by defining the "PHPSESSID" parameter when accessing "admin.php" and "admin_main.php".
It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts via specially crafted input passed in the "PHPSESSID" parameter.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.93 and prior.
