Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Some input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
Examples:

It has also been reported that the full path to some scripts can be disclosed.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 6.x through 7.6. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Production systems should not return error messages to clients.
NOTE: The vendor has added a generic filter in order to protect against cross-site scripting attacks. However, it has been reported that this filter is inadequate (reported in version 7.9).
