Description:
SQL injection vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited to inject arbitrary SQL code.

The problem is that most numeric values in the Web_Links module aren't validated before they are used in SQL queries. The Web_Links module is part of the base PHP-Nuke package.

Example:
/modules.php?op=modload&name=Web_Links&file=index&l_op=viewlink&cid=2%20malicious_SQL

This has been reported to affect version 6.5.

Solution:
Edit the source so that all parameters that are used in SQL queries are properly validated.
