Hello all. I am getting exceptions in my error log from a suspicious looking request:
/dotnetnuke/linkclick.aspx?tabid=145&link=197'%20and%20user%3E0%20and%20''='
It looks like someone is trying to do something malicious with an encoded query string. What really gets my attention is that the exception is DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.FileSystemUtils.DownloadFile which makes me think they are trying to download files off our website.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
