Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Backdoor in 'Free PHP Directory Script' ?

I read some reviews about Biz Directory's Free PHP Directory Script and some said that there was a backdoor that allowed the programmer to enter your admin area and delete everything in your database.

I had a quick look at the scripts but couldnt find anything besides an ordinary, invisible gif.

I wouldn't want to risk my directory because of this... free script or not.
Do you run this script?
