http://localhost/admin.php?module=";>&lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie)&lt;/script&gt;&op=main&POSTNUKESID=355776cfb622466924a7096d4471a480

http://localhost/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid='SQL_INJECTION&POSTNUKESID=355776cfb622466924a7096d4471a480
SQL INJECTION (look wayyy on the bottom of the page)

DB Error: getArticles: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL 
server version for 
the right syntax to use near '\'SQL_INJECTION' at line 23

Are you sure, is that sql injection in 0.760=RC3? 

Code "article.php":
if ((empty($sid) && empty($tid)) ||
    (!is_numeric($sid) && !is_numeric($tid))) {
        include 'header.php';
        echo _MODARGSERROR;
        include 'footer.php';
        exit;
}

So exit; ;] Bug don't work in 0.760-RC3. And in 0.750 exist path d.

Possible Fixes: The usage of htmlspeacialchars(), mysql_escape_string(), mysql_real_escape_string() and other 
functions for input 
validation before passing user input to the mysql database, or before echoing data on the screen, would solve these 
problems.
