security hole in custom mass pm?

Postby giver on Thu 30. Oct, 2003 09:37

once you start "groupmsg.php" directly by typing root/groupmsg.php as browserline it will appear without login request. of course one can't send a pm, but rather take attention to this topic than give people access to my root dir and db connection...

what can i do?

First of all, if this is really a security problem, you should contact me directly with EMAIL, simply to awoid posting a potential security risk to the wrong users.
when this is said, I have looked at this, and can not see any problems, the script will not allow users to send any PM, if they are not allowed, if I am místaking, please correct me (by email)
(if a how-to is EM ready, it will mostly be bullet prof, since a machine is more picky than a human. :D)
