Description:
Robin Verton has discovered some vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "name", "sid", and "pid" parameters in "modules.php" sent via a POST request isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 7.7. Version 7.8 and prior are reportedly also be affected.
Solution:
Apply patch for version 7.8.

NOTE:
The fix does not fully sanitise input passed to the "name" and "sid" parameters, and some SQL code may still be injected (it only filters the "UNION" SQL operator).
