TITLE:
PHP-Nuke Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA11135

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/11135/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHP-Nuke 7.x

DESCRIPTION:
Janek Vind "waraxe" has reported some vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke,
allowing malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks.

The problem is that certain input isn't properly verified before it
is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site.

1) The "email" and "Your name" fields aren't properly verified in
"modules.php?name=Feedback".

2) The "nickname" parameter isn't properly verified in
"/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=pass_lost".

3) The "fname" parameter isn't properly verified in
"/modules.php?name=Recommend_Us", if it is injected using cookies or
a POST request.

4) The "ratenum" parameter isn't properly verified in
"/modules.php?name=Downloads".

5) The "search" field isn't properly verified in
"/modules.php?name=Journal".

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 7.10. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

Use another product.
