Hi all.
There is a posible security bug in the phpMyWebhosting

File: includes/functions/pmwh.php

Function: test

Code:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
......
  if ( isset($_POST['password']) && ($_POST['password'] != "")) {
    $query = 'SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customer = "' . $user . '" AND
password = password("' . $_POST['password'] . '")';
    $check_pwd=sql_query($query);
    $num_rows=sql_num_rows($check_pwd);

    if ($num_rows!=1) {
      echo "<center><h2>Wrong Password</h2></center><br>";
      return false;
    } else ........
