PHP-Nuke Detection

high Nessus Plugin ID 11236

Synopsis

A remote web application might be affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a copy of PHP-Nuke.

Given the insecurity history of this package, the Nessus team recommends that you do not use it but use something else instead, as security was clearly not in the mind of the persons who wrote it.

The author of PHP-Nuke (Francisco Burzi) even started to rewrite the program from scratch, given the huge number of vulnerabilities

Solution

De-install this package and use something else.
