Official Description
Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in PostNuke 0.760-RC3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) module parameter to admin.php or (2) op parameter to user.php.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2005-1049 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-2005-1049. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
