The remote host is running PostNuke version 0.760 RC4a or older. These versions suffer from several vulnerabilities, among them :
Multiple Remote Code Injection Vulnerabilities An attacker can read arbitrary files on the remote and possibly inject arbitrary PHP code remotely.
SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Weaknesses in the ‘Xanthia’ and ‘Messages’ modules allow attackers to affect database queries, possibly resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information such as user passwords and even execution of arbitrary PHP code on the remote host.
Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities An attacker can inject arbitrary script code into the browser of users leading to disclosure of session cookies, redirection to other sites, etc.
Multiple Path Disclosure Vulnerabilities An attacker can discover details about the underlying installation directory structure by calling various include scripts directly.
