CVE-2006-0479 Information

Description

pmwiki.php in PmWiki 2.1 beta 20 with register_globals enabled allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that deregister global variables by setting both a GPC variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name which causes PmWiki to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable which creates resultant vulnerabilities such as remote file inclusion and cross-site scripting (XSS).
