Input passed to the "root_dir" parameter in _plugin/subscriber/inc/post.php and in as/lib/news_modify.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and remote resources. Successful exploitation requires that support for .htaccess files is disabled. Vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.5.4. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: The vendor recommends to set register_globals to "Off".
