PHP-NUKE ‘cid’ SQL Injection Exploit

The r57nuke-cid.pl script is a PHP-NUKE 'cid' SQL injection exploit. It takes advantage of a vulnerability in the Download module of PHP-NUKE, which allows for SQL injection. This exploit works only on MySQL version > 4.0 and has been tested on PHP-NUKE versions 6.9, 6.0, and 6.5. The exploit script takes three arguments: the host for the attack, the PHP-NUKE folder, and the user aid or nickname. Upon successful exploitation, it retrieves the user's username and MD5 hash.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update PHP-NUKE to a version that has fixed this SQL injection vulnerability. Additionally, input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented to prevent SQL injection attacks.
