A+ PHP Scripts – News Management System Insecure Cookie Handling Vulnerability

The A+ PHP Scripts - News Management System suffers from insecure cookie handling. When an admin login is successful, the script creates a cookie to show that the user is already logged in. However, the cookie does not contain any password or similar authentication. This allows an attacker to craft an admin cookie and make it look like they are logged in as a legitimate admin.

Mitigation:
