Advanced Poll Variable Overwriting Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Checks if variables can be overwritten with Advanced Poll Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a data modification vulnerability. Description : The remote host is running Advanced Poll, a simple polling application written in PHP. The version of Advanced Poll installed on the remote host includes code to emulate PHP's 'register_globals' functionality when that setting is disabled, which is true by default with recent versions of PHP. In that case, an unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this flaw to bypass authentication and gain control of the application and possibly execute arbitrary code on the remote host, subject to the permissions of the web server user id.
