A denial of service vulnerability has been reported for the modules.php script used by PHP-Nuke. The vulnerability occurs because the modules.php script does not properly validate some URI parameters.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by modifying certain parameters when making a request for the modules.php script. This will prevent visitors to the site hosting PHP-Nuke from creating a new account thereby leading to a denial of service vulnerability.
