Miscellaneous Hacks - Cyb - Login To User Account

Info:
This will allow forum administrators to simply login to user accounts (to test forum functions, permissions etc...). SuperAdmin can choose admins who are able to use this function. SuperAdmin can set also who can login to other admin accounts. "Login As User" is shown in member profiles and Quick User Links (can be disabled). Option is automatically hidden in your own account and if target user is admin while you have no permissions to login to admin accounts.

DUDE...omg this is one of the most amazing and freaky plugin ever...<3 u

Youve said this is impossible, well how come it is doing this on our board as a guest even after installing the plugin again?

[removed the link ] is exactly what can be used on our forum for some reason with this modification enabled. That is without link on profiles etc and only allowed for myself to use it in the options for this.

Got it at last! This modification is not to blame and I apologise Cyb, I have just figured it out! Another mod is allowing this security risk to be open in conflict which I am reporting.

Actually I take that back, it is still doing the same thing.

I have tested the flaw in IE8 but it doesnt work and only seems to work in FF. I have disabled all the modifications using usergroups and still get this problem. Also, our guest count drops to zero guests as soon as I attempt the trick, it resets our guests somehow.

I didn't realize the logging was on by default and have now disabled it, but is there a way to get rid of the logs that are already in the database?

Damn, he is right!!!!

With this link I am able to login into any account at my forum I want to! Even wihthout being even logged in before!!!

How is this possible?!?!?! DANGEROUS!!!!!!

[Brother Malachi]

Sweeks, edit that link out.

And of course Cybernetec doesn't accept PMs. Unless he takes a look at the above within a day I'm going to PM one of the mods and have them move this to the mod graveyard.

I just edited my Quote so that the URL disappears.

Well, I'm a bit shocked... I never thought, that an AddOn could do things like that!

[Brother Malachi]

I PMed an admin to remove the other URL too.
