Title: PostNuke Trojan Horse Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
PostNuke is a freely available web-based content management system. It is implemented in PHP and available for Unix/Linux variants as well as Microsoft Windows platforms.
It is reported that the server hosting PostNuke, www.postnuke.com, was compromised recently. Additionally, it is reported that the attacker modified the download address of the archive 'PostNuke-0.750.zip'. The new download location contained a trojaned version of the PostNuke archive.
The trojaned source transmits all data submitted into form fields during installation to a remote location. Additionally the trojaned source provides a conduit for a remote attacker to execute shell commands in the context of the web server that is hosting the trojaned code.
It is reported that users that downloaded the PostNuke archive between Sunday the 24th of Oct 2004 at 23:50 GMT and Tuesday the 26th of Oct 2004 at 8:30 GMT are likely to be affected by this vulnerability.
