VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17315/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

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

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered some vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "username" parameter when logging in, the "url"
parameter in the "Downloads" module, and the "description" parameter
in the "Web_links" module 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 7.8. Other
versions may also be affected.

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