http://secunia.com/advisories/22197/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PostNuke 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/350/

DESCRIPTION:
Omid has discovered a vulnerability in PostNuke, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "hits" parameter in modules/Downloads/admin.php
when adding a download is not properly sanitised before being used in
a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires privileges to the administrative
download module.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 0.762. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted access users to the application.

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