Will someone please tell us what version this is in? 1.2 was released
last week. Did it fix this problem?

To repair Bug to edit the file admin.php and to add after the line:





$IN['AD_SESS'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['adsess'] ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['adsess'] :


$HTTP_GET_VARS['adsess'];



To add this :



if (isset($IN['AD_SESS'])) {

        $IN['AD_SESS'] = htmlspecialchars($IN['AD_SESS']);

}
