DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Ripe Website Manager,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information or to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "level" parameter in
admin/includes/admin_header.php and
admin/includes/author_panel_header.php is not properly verified
before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.

2) It is possible to view certain system information returned by the
"phpinfo()" function by accessing the includes/phpinfo.php script
directly.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 0.8.9. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

Restrict web access (e.g. with ".htaccess") to the
includes/phpinfo.php script.
