For example, try the script below: script.php (will print the full GLOBALS array) script.php?GLOBALS[php]=error (will print a GLOBALS array with just one entry) _GET, _POST, etc superglobals are no vulnerable. PHP5 does not exhibit this behaviour. Reproduce code: --------------- <a href="script.php?GLOBALS[php]=error">kill GLOBALS</a> <pre> <?php print_r( $GLOBALS ); ?> </pre> Expected result: ---------------- Full display of GLOBALS array Actual result: -------------- GLOBALS array with just one entry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31440&edit=1
