Description

A vulnerability has been identified in MatrikzGB allowing malicious people to see all usernames and passwords.

The problem is that all usernames and passwords are stored in clear text in "/admin/user.dat.php".

Furthermore, it has been reported that an authenticated user can modify his profile and become an "admin" user, because the "new_rights" parameter is specified in a hidden field when updating the password.

This affects version 2.0 and possibly other versions too.


Solution
Restrict access to "/admin" using .htaccess. Edit the source code so that users can't specify "new_rights".
