        An attacker can read arbitrary files on the remote and 
        possibly inject arbitrary PHP code remotely.
    
      - SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
        Weaknesses in the 'Xanthia' and 'Messages' modules allow 
        attackers to affect database queries, possibly resulting
        in the disclosure of sensitive information such as user
        passwords and even execution of arbitrary PHP code on
        the remote host.
    
      - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
        An attacker can inject arbitrary script code into the
        browser of users leading to disclosure of session 
        cookies, redirection to other sites, etc.
    
      - Multiple Path Disclosure Vulnerabilities
        An attacker can discover details about the underlying
        installation directory structure by calling various
