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.
