Re: PhpGedView 4.0.2 (DOCUMENT_ROOT) File inclusion Vulnerablity

I have not been able to find a way to exploit this with a normal PhpGedView 
installation even with register_globals turned on. It always errors out before 
this could be a problem.  
 
In order to access it the $nuke_type would have to be set to "postnuke". Which 
is in itself trivial with register_globals on, but if you do figure out the 
appropriate query string you will still get errors because it is expecting 
*nuke functions to be defined. 
 
I haven't tested it inside a *Nuke system, but I don't think you could exploit 
it there either without exploiting something else inside the *nuke because 
those functions would still be undefined. 
 
Precautions that could be taken: 
 
*. The easiest thing to do is to remove the "pgvnuke" directory from your 
installations. Removing the files will not cause any errors. They are only 
included for those people who want to use PhpGedView as a module to a *nuke.  
Even in a Nuke installation you do not need to have the "pgvnuke" directory 
inside your PhpGedView directory. 
 
*. Alternately if you use apache you can include a .htaccess file in that 
directory.  Version 4.1 includes a .htaccess file in the pgvnuke directory.
