I am the main developer of this piece of software and not amused that you didn't mail about this bug.

But: I tried with actual version 0.4.0 (and also earlier version) and can't reproduce your security bug.
If I enter your information I get a "Wrong password" message.

Could you please explain this?

In Debian magic_quotes = On is standard.

I should add addslashes in the code. Thank you!

Matias,

may your server is configured with magic_quotes disabled, so, the " is not
slashed and we have a basic sql injection. Im not sure because I have not
seen the source codes to say that, but it's what looks like. Is there a
addslashes in the code ?
