Description

CorryL has discovered a vulnerability in phpTrafficA, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "isloggedin()" function in Php/login.inc.php not correctly checking the authentication credentials. This can be exploited to bypass the authentication by requesting restricted pages with the "username" cookie set to "traffic".

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.3. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution
Update to version 1.4.4.
