This signature detects attempts to add an admin user to a PHP-Nuke database. Attackers can add an admin user by exploiting a vulnerability in the way PHP-Nuke parses certain HTTP POST requests to admin.php.
A successful exploit of this vulnerability would allow remote attackers to elevate their privilege to Administrator-level on a web server.
