DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the NP_Twitter plugin for
Nucleus, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed via the "DIR_PLUGINS" parameter to
nucleus/plugins/NP_Twitter.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 may require that "register_globals" is
enabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.8 and 0.9. Other versions
may also be affected.

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