Amir please stop posting to bugtraq. This was third false-positive or you are 
testing with unsecure www-server/browser. If you for example had 
global_register disabled you should say this in your advisory so people don't 
worry for nothing. This also creates negative reputation to plugins without no 
good reason. You also don't follow good policy to notify vendors before posting 
to public mailing-list. They should have few weeks to months of time to fix 
these issues and coordinate if necessary.

Please note that I am not trying to be offensive here. You should definately 
continue your research and intrest in information security. Please contact me 
if you need verification of issues. I am more than happy to help you!
