	eZ Publish weak activation token for new user not resolved now (zero-day).
	Vulnerable code in the version 3.9.2:
		$hash = md5( mktime( ) . $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' ) );
	Vulnerable code in the version 4.0.1:
		$hash = md5( time() . $user->attribute( 'contentobject_id' ) );
	
	* tested on version 3.9.2

	usage: 

	# ./eZPublish_create_admin_exploit.php -u=username -p=password -s=EZPublish_server [ -e=email -t=timestamp ]

	The options are required:
	 -u Login of the new admin on eZ Publish
	 -p Password of the new admin on eZ Publish
	 -s Target for privilege escalation

	The options are optional:
