>Thank you for your email.
>Yes, I've been recently informed of this vulnerability.
>After several tests on various platforms and PHP versions, it seems
>that this
>vulnerability can only be successfully exploited on windows systems
>and only if
>magic_quote_gpc is set to off. I couldn't reproduce the problem on

>The fix consists in replacing line #132 in init.inc and line #25 in
>index.php :
>$site = empty($site) ? 'agora' : $site;
>with:
>$site = empty($site) ? 'agora' : trim(basename($site));
>
>I will release a patch and a new release in the next few days.
