Description
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in mainfile.php in PHP-Nuke 7.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via (1) "/**/UNION " or (2) " UNION/**/" sequences, which are not rejected by the protection mechanism, as demonstrated by a SQL injection via the eid parameter in a search action in the Encyclopedia module in modules.php.
