7.5
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
admin.php3 in PHP-Nuke does not properly verify the PHP-Nuke administrator password, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges by requesting a URL that does not specify the aid or pwd parameter.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2000-0745 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2000-0745. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
