DESCRIPTION: Zeni Susanto has discovered a vulnerability in Advanced Login, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "root" parameter in engine/db/profiledit.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.76. Other versions may also be affected.
