    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.

    descriptionA cross-site scripting vulnerability is present in the PostNuke PHP content management system. By passing data injected through exploitable errors in input validation, an attacker can insert code which will run on the machine of anybody viewing the page. It is feasible that this attack could be used to retrieve session information from cookies, thereby allowing the attacker to gain administrative access to the CMS.
