Beware the Bruteforce: PHPMyAdmin Login Bypass Vulnerability Alert!
Nikola Markovic discovered a clever PHPMyAdmin 3.0 vulnerability: the Bruteforce Login Bypass. This exploit allows you to bypass login with minimal effort, or as we like to call it, the “password? What password?” maneuver. Just remember, folks, with great power comes great responsibility and possibly a stern look from your IT department!
Hot Take:
Looks like someone is trying to bypass security like it’s the fast lane at an amusement park! PHPMyAdmin has more holes than Swiss cheese, and Nikola Markovic is here to exploit them with the grace of a bull in a china shop. You’ve got to admire the audacity of trying to brute force your way into a login system with a password list that’s shorter than a tweet. Maybe PHPMyAdmin should have updated their security from ‘password123’ a long time ago!
