Input passed to the "env_dir" parameter in builddb.php, blank.php, and admin.php, and the "script_root" parameter in blank.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or remote resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.1.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Use another product.
