Title: PHP-Nuke 6.0 Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
PHP-Nuke is a web-based portal system. Implemented in PHP, it is available for a range of systems, including Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in multiple PHP scripts used by PHP-Nuke 6. Due to insufficient sanitization of web requests it is possible for script code to be embedded in PHP script requests.
The scripts, which are vulnerable to these issues, include 'bb_smilies.php', 'bbcode_ref.php', 'editpost.php', 'newtopic.php', 'reply.php', 'topicadmin.php', 'viewforum.php', and 'searchbb.php'.
By constructing a malicious link which exploits one of these vulnerabilities, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code within the context of a website visited by an unsuspecting user. This may allow a remote attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, which could be used at a later time to hijack a user's web session.
