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 backend database.

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
