Think of register_globals like an unfiltered buffet: anyone can add whatever they want to the menu. By manipulating the sourceFolder or moduleFolder parameters, a crafty attacker could serve up their own nasty dish right from your server! This PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in Pragyan CMS allows attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by injecting malicious URLs into the sourceFolder or moduleFolder parameters when register_globals is enabled. With this setting, attacker-controlled input is treated as a variable, making it easier to exploit.
