There have been reported two vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 6.x through 7.6. Other versions may also be affected.

Some input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

A very easy way to protect all your scripts from full path dislosures is to add this line to your .htaccess file:

php_flag display_errors off

I use that by default, better to show a blank page than reveal paths, sadly not everyone does.

If enough are interested, I will put together a custom error handler to both protect against the disclosure and display a nicely formatted error page instead of a blank.
