CVSS v2.0
5.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP-Nuke versions 7.9 and earlier
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks due to an incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the mainfile.php file. This is demonstrated by a SQL injection via the
eid parameter in a search action in the Encyclopedia module in modules.php, using sequences such as "//UNION " or " UNION//" that are not rejected by the protection mechanism.Recommendations
For PHP-Nuke versions 7.9 and earlier, consider restricting access to the Encyclopedia module in modules.php until a fix is available, and avoid using the
eid parameter in search actions to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
