CVE-2005-4260 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PHP-Nuke 7.9 and later, specifically within the includes/mainfile.php component. This flaw arises from an interpretation conflict where replacing a ">" with a "<" in HTML tags bypasses PHP-Nuke's sanitization, though many browsers auto-correct this. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (medium severity), it is a network-exploitable vulnerability with medium access complexity, potentially leading to information disclosure (e.g., session hijacking) without requiring authentication. While there is an ExploitDB entry (EDB-26817) for a content filtering bypass, there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit or Nuclei modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
