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.

Did somebody already cross check versions 3.7, 3.6 and 3.5 if they have the same heavy bug?

btw: every admin using this AddOn should be informed "asap" by eMail as soon as Cybernetec or vb-Admin has confirmed this bug.

Here I go again...

Seems like we have a worst-case-scenario... I just tried to "hijack" an admin account of a forum postet in the signatur of an user using the 3.7-Version.

Unfortunatly, I was successfull...
I now have full access of his forum! Don't worry - I will not do any harm!

ADMINs! Please remove all versions of this AddOn & inform every admin to disable this AddOn as soon as possible!
If vb-Admins would like to test hijacking forums - send PN an I'll give you some links to vunerable forums. There you can hijack any account you want. Unbelivable!!!! :down:

Im currently using this hack for my forum. But how is it possible that somebody easily uses the url ? Does he need an account on the forum or which way does it work ?

[-=Leb=-]

a confirmation from cyb will be nice.

Why? Version 2.2 ist absolutly unsafe!

Version 2.3 should be safe now (did not test myself yet).

But every admin MUST updated to 2.3 to secure his forum!

So I am not going to edit my posting.
