=> The remote attacker is able to bypass the user authentication.

In verify-user.php, line 20:

-------------------------------------

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM b2epms_user WHERE username='$username' AND user_passwd='$admin_passwd' AND activated='1' AND user_level='2'");
$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if($login_check > 0){
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
  foreach( $row AS $key => $val ){
    $$key = stripslashes( $val );
  }
    // Register session variables!
    session_register('userid');
    $_SESSION['userid'] = $user_level;
    mysql_query("UPDATE b2epms_user SET login_date=now() WHERE userid='$userid'"); $url = "Location: admin.php";
    header($url);
  }
