Hi,

while getting to know the PHP-Code better and better, I noticed that obviously 
PHP runs with "register_globals = on" for Savane (and, no doubt, Savannah as 
well).

This is a bad thing to do and should be avoided under all circumstances. 
Moreover, there are some portions of the code where a malicious user can 
easily inject SQL code to, say, view the contents of /etc/passwd.

Since this is a public mailing list, I won't disclose the information about 
how to do it. I think it's much better to work out a solution, write the 
code, and then update all servers.

I haven't looked into all files, but I can imagine that there are other 
possibilities as well: Maybe deleting all data from tables, adding yourself 
to a project you don't belong to, etc. The list is probably not complete.

How should we procede?

Cheers,
