SQL injection vulnerability in index.php in the Search module in PHP-Nuke 8.0 FINAL and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the sid parameter in a comments action to modules.php. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
