alt Hacker NewsAges ago I used php-nuke to manage my forum and it got hacked and I thought it would get taken seriously
Seeing these CPanel hacks remind me how old these codebases are and how much more vulnerability remain

The concept of a GUI wrapper on top of the Linux ecosystem is what's broken.
Not because of a fundamental limitation of that architecture, but because in practice the type of people that will use it do not want to learn or develop the necessary skills to administer it, and critical information like man pages and parameter lists are hidden.
You can't take shortcuts without consequences.

Php-nuke was the hacking testing ground. Nuke was atrocious for exploitation.

I don't agree that "old" necessarily implies vulnerability.
