phpmyfamily contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker gain elevated privileges. The issue is due to the php.ini file being configured so "register_globals" is ON. In such a configuration, a remote attacker can gain access to the phpmyfamily system with 'nobody' access which will allow most standard user functions.
