Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Multi-Page Comment System (MPCS) versions 1.0 through 1.1

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges. This is achieved by setting the CommentSystemAdmin cookie to 1, which is associated with the admin.php file in the affected system.

Recommendations: For versions 1.0 and 1.1, consider restricting access to the admin.php file until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the CommentSystemAdmin cookie or set it to a value other than 1 to minimize the risk of exploitation.
