CVE-2002-0286 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The GetPassword function in function.php of SiteNews 0.10 and 0.11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges and add users by providing a non-existent user name and the MD5 checksum for an empty password to add_user.php, which causes GetPassword to produce and compare a blank password for the non-existent user.
