This signature detects directory traversal attempts against the index.php script included with PostNuke. PostNuke versions 0.723 and earlier are vulnerable. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted request to index.php to traverse the directory structure and execute arbitrary commands.
A vulnerability has been discovered in PostNuke Phoenix 0.723 and earlier. The problem occurs in the theme handling engine and may be triggered through the use of directory traversal sequences.
