An issue was discovered in phpLiteAdmin 1.9.5 through 1.9.7.1. Due to loose comparison with \'==\' instead of \'===\' in classes/Authorization.php for the user-provided login password, it is possible to login with a simpler password if the password has the form of a power in scientific notation (like \'2e2\' for \'200\' or \'0e1234\' for \'0\'). This is possible because, in the loose comparison case, PHP interprets the string as a number in scientific notation, and thus converts it to a number. After that, the comparison with \'==\' casts the user input (e.g., the string \'200\' or \'0\') to a number, too. Hence the attacker can login with just a \'0\' or a simple number he has to brute force. Strong comparison with \'===\' prevents the cast into numbers.
