can be exploited by malicious people to gain edit privileges.

It is possible to be automatically logged in as user "nobody" when
clicking to download a document and then leaving the page. This
grants the person ability to add people, change information, upload
and delete documents and images.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

may also be affected.
