Subject: PHPNuke admin.php protection code

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I created this piece of code to enforce the security of admin section in
PHPNuke web portals and I realized it works well: just put it in
admin.php above require_once("mainfile.php"); and only logged in users
who are in authors table can access the page, the others will be
redirected to index.php.

The code:

$grant_access = FALSE;
cookiedecode($user);
$sql = $db->sql_query("SELECT aid FROM ".$prefix."_authors");
while($record = $db->sql_fetchrow($sql)) {
~  if($cookie[1]==$record[aid])
~    $grant_access = TRUE;
}
if(!$grant_access) {
~  Header("Location: index.php");
~  die();
}
unset($cookie);
unset($result);
unset($sql);
unset($grant_access);

If this trick doesn't work properly, please contact me at fala83@...ero.it.
