Php Nuke · Php-Nuke · CVE-2006-5720
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
PHP-Nuke versions 7.9 and earlier
Description:
A SQL injection issue exists in the Journal module, specifically in the modules/journal/search.php file, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved by manipulating the `forwhat` parameter.
Recommendations:
For PHP-Nuke versions 7.9 and earlier, consider restricting access to the vulnerable `search.php` file in the Journal module until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `forwhat` parameter in the affected module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
