process. This can be exploited to bypass the authentication process
and access the administration section by setting the "adminloggedin",
"loggedin", and "level" parameters to "1".

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.7. Other versions
