Valerie Holfield reported a vulnerability in the automatic login feature in phpmyfamily.
> When a visitor (someone who's not logged in) clicks to
> download a document and then leaves the page, they
> are automatically logged in as 'nobody.'
> 'Nobody' now has the right to add people, change
> information, upload and delete documents and images,
> and is even given the option to change password
> (although not sure what the system considers the
> current password to be).
The vendor subsequently reported that the flaw only affects systems with "register_globals
= On" in their 'php.ini' file.
