Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or manipulate data in the database.

The vulnerabilities are caused by input validation errors in the modules "Members_List" and "Your_Account", which can be exploited by conducting a SQL injection attack.

This has only been confirmed in version 6.0, but other versions might also be vulnerable.

Note: The vulnerability is only present if "magic_quotes_gpc=OFF" in "php.ini".

Solution:
Make sure "magic_quotes_gpc=ON" in "php.ini" or edit the source code to validate input.
