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!
