Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in FlatNuke < 2.5.6 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Description : The remote host is running FlatNuke, a content management system written in PHP and using flat files rather than a database for its storage. The version of FlatNuke installed on the remote host suffers from several flaws: - Arbitrary PHP Code Execution Vulnerability The application fails to remove newlines from a user's registration information and stores it as a PHP file with a known path. A possible hacker can leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host subject to the rights of the web server userid. - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities Various scripts do not sanitize user-supplied input through several parameters before using it in dynamically generated pages, which can be exploited by attackers to launch cross-site scripting attacks against the affected application.
