Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PHP-Nuke version 8.3.3

Description The issue is related to a SQL Injection vulnerability in the User Registration section, which can lead to remote code execution. This occurs due to the lack of validation for the U.S. state, which should be two letters, and the OrderBy field, which should be one of LASTNAME, CITY, or STATE.

Recommendations For PHP-Nuke version 8.3.3, consider validating the U.S. state to ensure it is two letters and restrict the OrderBy field to only accept LASTNAME, CITY, or STATE to prevent SQL Injection attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the User Registration section until a patch is available.
