    In Hosting Controller 2002, it is possible to change the password of any 
    user, Administrator.
    
    To exploit this, one would have to:
    
    Add a user (/accounts/getuserdesc.asp)
    Edit the user, changing the password (/accounts/updateuserdesc.asp)
    Then using something like the @stake web proxy, change the hidden field 
    username to whatever they wanted (ie, administrator), and submit the form.
    
    The vender was notified, they have released a patch 
    (http://hostingcontroller.com/English/downloads/inc_updateuser.zip), which 
    was released within 48 hours of notification (good job!)
