Security Risk - Cookies Are In Plain Text
Hey,
There is a problem with the cookies for activewin.com.
The login cookie is not encrypted. So your user name and pw are stored in plain text. Very bad. It needs to be encrypted. So atm anyone who has logged into activewin.com and has a cookie on their computer is in danger of getting their user name and pw stolen.
Not only that but the cookie does not expire 1/01/10, so for 6 years. So it will always be there unless you delete it. For a very long time. And since so many people use the same user and pw for many different websites an attack could be pretty dangerous.
Also the forums are not in danger since the pw is encrypted. Though I would also encrypt the user name as it is in plain text atm as well.
Please fix asap,
Will
