Galatolo Web Manager 1.3a Insecure Cookie Handling Vulnerability

Galatolo Web Manager suffers from insecure cookie handling, when a admin login is successful the script creates a cookie to show the rest of the admin area the user is already logged in. The bad thing is the cookie doesn't contain any password or anything alike, therefor we can craft a admin cookie and make it look like we are logged in as a legit admin. The exploit code is a JavaScript code that sets the cookie values to 'admin' for both 'gwm_user' and 'gwm_pass' and then visits the '/admin' page to gain admin access.

Mitigation:

Ensure that cookies are securely stored and encrypted, and that they are not used to store sensitive information.
