Halo Surface Signal score for CVE-2018-25416

The vulnerability exists in a web application accessible via HTTP GET requests to a specific script (country.php). As this is a web-based interface requiring no authentication to reach the vulnerable parameter, it is commonly deployed as an internet-facing service or web application, making it reachable from the public internet in typical deployments.

Horizon Alert

Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters

A vulnerability in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0 could allow unauthorized access to sensitive database information. The flaw is present in the `country.php` script and can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers. Successful exploitation may lead to the exposure of database contents, such as usernames and database names.

Vulnerable component: AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0
Core weakness: SQL injection in `country.php`
Main business impact: Sensitive data exposure

Attack Path

How an attacker could exploit the issue

This vulnerability allows unauthorized individuals to execute harmful SQL commands by inserting malicious code into the "country" parameter within the country.php script. Attackers can exploit this by sending specially crafted GET requests, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive database information. Such information could include user credentials and database details.

Exposure: Internet-facing web application.
Attacker Access: Unauthenticated GET request.
Trigger and Result: Malicious code in "country" parameter extracts database data.
