    descriptionTwo separate SQL injection vulnerabilities have been identified in the PostNuke PHP content management system. An attacker can use this vulnerability to potentially insert executable PHP code into the content management system (to view all files within the PHP scope, for instance). Various other SQL injection vulnerabilities exist, which give attackers the ability to run SQL queries on any tables within the database.

    descriptionThe remote host is running PostNuke version 0.760 RC2 or older. These versions suffer from several vulnerabilities, among them : - SQL injection vulnerability in the News, NS-Polls and NS-AddStory modules. - SQL injection vulnerability in the Downloads module. - Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the Downloads module. - Possible path disclosure vulnerability in the News module. An attacker may use the SQL injection vulnerabilities to obtain the password hash for the administrator or to corrupt the database database used by PostNuke. Exploiting the XSS flaws may enable an attacker to inject arbitrary script code into the browser of site administrators leading to disclosure of session cookies.
