Description
Direct code injection vulnerability in FlatNuke 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by placing the code into the Referer header of an HTTP request, which causes the code to be injected into referer.php, which can then be accessed by the attacker.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
