Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wordsmith version 1.0 RC1

Recommendations For Wordsmith version 1.0 RC1, consider disabling the register globals setting to mitigate the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the config.inc.php file and avoid using the path parameter until a fix is available.
