The CAPTCHA functionality in php-Nuke 6.0 through 7.9 uses fixed challenge/response pairs that only vary once per day based on the User Agent (HTTP_USER_AGENT), which allows remote attackers to bypass CAPTCHA controls by fixing the User Agent, performing a valid challenge/response, then replaying that pair in the random_num and gfx_check parameters.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue weakens php-Nuke's CAPTCHA in versions 6.0 through 7.9. The challenge can be predictable and reusable when the same browser User-Agent is used, so CAPTCHA may not stop automated abuse. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring, a vendor patch, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is limited to organizations still running php-Nuke 6.0 through 7.9 with the affected CAPTCHA enabled on public forms, registrations, comments, or other abuse-prone workflows. Treat this as a targeted legacy-platform exposure issue. It is unlikely to justify emergency response by itself, but public php-Nuke sites using this CAPTCHA should be prioritized for retirement, upgrade, or compensating anti-abuse controls. Mitigation focus: Inventory any php-Nuke deployments and confirm whether versions 6.0 through 7.9 are present.; Check archived vendor or maintainer guidance before assuming a patch exists.; Retire or upgrade unsupported php-Nuke deployments where feasible..
