DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in DotNetNuke, which can be
exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges and by
malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

impersonate another user and perform certain actions with that user's
privileges.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.

This vulnerability is reported in versions 4.4.1 - 4.8.4.

2) Input passed via unspecified parameters is not properly verified
before being used to load skin files. This can be exploited to load
an existing ascx file and bypass certain security restrictions.

Successful exploitation potentially allows to gain administrative
privileges or compromise an affected system.
