The security issue is caused due to a missing authentication mechanism within the steam.php script, which can be exploited to disable authentication by requesting the file directly. The security issue is confirmed in version 0.6.2.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict access to the "stream.php" script (e.g. via .htaccess) to trusted users.
