GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

VAR-200512-0217

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 13:58

Interpretation conflict in includes/mainfile.php in PHP-Nuke 7.9 and later allows remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by replacing the ">" in the tag with a "<", which bypasses the regular expressions that sanitize the data, but is automatically corrected by many web browsers. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a design limitation of many web browsers; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in PHP-Nuke. PHPNuke is prone to a content filtering bypass vulnerability. This issue can allow an attacker to bypass content filters and potentially carry out cross-site scripting, HTML injection and other attacks. PHPNuke 7.9 and prior versions are reported to be vulnerable
