SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA12271

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12271/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHP-Nuke 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/2385/

DESCRIPTION:
SmOk3 has reported some vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

User input passed to the search box in the following modules is not
sanitised before being returned to users:
- Web_Links
- Journal
- Stories Archive
- Topics Archive

This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in context of an affected website.

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

Use another product.
