http://secunia.com/advisories/20300/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Basic Analysis and Security Engine (BASE) 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5984/

DESCRIPTION:
str0ke has discovered some vulnerabilities in Basic Analysis and
Security Engine, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "BASE_path" parameter in base_qry_common.php,
base_stat_common.php, and base_include.inc.php isn't properly
verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited
to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.2.4. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

Set "register_globals" to "Off".
