This is the exploit (Full credit to h4cky0u for it):

# This one actually works :) Just paste the outputted cookie into
# your request header using livehttpheaders or something and you
# will probably be logged in as that user. No need to decrypt it!
# Exploit coded by "ReMuSOMeGa & Nova" and http://www.h4cky0u.org
