Maciej "krasza" Kukla has discovered a vulnerability in PHP-Nuke,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed via the "referer" HTTP header in index.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.9 and reported in version
8.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
