Rated as : Moderate Risk

Technical Description
Two vulnerabilities were identified in PostNuke, which could be exploited by remote attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or bypass certain security policies.
This first issue is due to an error in the "contrib/example.php" script of the GeSHi library that does not properly validate a specially crafted "language" parameter, which could be exploited by attackers to cause contents of arbitrary files to be exposed. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2005-1813
The second flaw is due to an unspecified error in the "comments" module, which could be exploited by attackers to add comments.
