CVE-2008-1591 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The pnVarPrepForStore function in PostNuke 0.764 and earlier skips input sanitization when magic_quotes_runtime is enabled, which allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks and execute arbitrary SQL commands via input associated with server variables, as demonstrated by the CLIENT_IP HTTP header (HTTP_CLIENT_IP variable).. EPSS estimates a 0.97% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
