The vulnerability is caused due to the use of an uninitialised variable in login.php, which can be exploited to access the administrative section by passing an arbitrary value (not 0) via the "login_ok" parameter to login.php. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerability is confirmed in the following products and versions: * PaoLink version 1.0 * PaoBacheca version 2.1 * PaoLiber version 1.1 Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that "$login_ok" is properly initialised. Set "register_globals" to "Off".
