# ### code end ###
# and we can logging with any user id if we use boolean value in cookie password_hash
# evil cookie is : a:2:{i:0;s:1:"2";i:1;b:1;} where 2 is user id
#
# fix:
# if (!isset($pun_user['id']) || md5($cookie_seed.$pun_user['password']) != $cookie['password_hash'])
# change to
# if (!isset($pun_user['id']) || md5($cookie_seed.$pun_user['password']) !== $cookie['password_hash'])
