---[ the product

Postnuke is a CMS (Contenent Management System) that is an improved

version of php-nuke. You can find it here: http://www.phpnuke.com.

---[ the bug

The pages of the full disclosure path vulnerabilities that are in

the core and in the modules of postnuke are wrote to be included

in other pages, but if you access directly they made a page error

mainly for Unkwon function.

---[ the exploit:

In the core of postnuke you can get an error page visiting this url:

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/footer.php

In the other modules that are by default in postnuke:

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Downloads/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/FAQ/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Reviews/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Sections/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Submit_News/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Top_List/admin.php

http://www.site_with_postnuke.com/modules/Web_Links/admin.php

---[ the patch

You can protect the page form the direct access as is in the file

header.php, writing this lines at the begin of all the page bugged

in that way:

if (strpos('header.php', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

die ("You can't access this file directly...");

}
