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