Description

PHP-Nuke contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the modules.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'name', 'sid', and 'pid' variables via a POST request. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database.

Technical

This vulnerability is only present when the magic_quotes_gpc PHP option is 'off'.

Solution

Currently, there are no known workarounds or upgrades to correct this issue. However, PHP-Nuke has released a patch to address this vulnerability.

The fix does not fully sanitise input passed to the 'name' and 'sid' parameters, it only filters the UNION SQL seperators
