Halo Surface Signal score for CVE-2018-25419

The vulnerability exists in a web application accessed via a PHP script (genre.php). Web applications are commonly deployed as internet-facing services, and this script is reachable via standard GET requests, making it likely to be exposed if the application is deployed in a public-facing web context.

Horizon Alert

Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters

AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0 is susceptible to a vulnerability that permits unauthorized access to sensitive database information. Attackers can exploit this flaw by sending crafted requests to a specific script within the application. This could lead to the exposure of critical data, potentially affecting organizational security and operations.

  • Vulnerable application component
  • Unauthenticated SQL query execution
  • Sensitive database information exposure

Attack Path

How an attacker could exploit the issue

The described vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries through the genre parameter in a PHP script. By sending specially crafted GET requests, attackers can inject malicious code to extract sensitive database information, such as usernames and database names. This impacts systems by potentially exposing confidential data stored within the database.

  • Exposure condition: Publicly accessible web application.
  • Attacker starting point: Unauthenticated network access.
  • Trigger and result: Inject SQL via genre parameter to steal data.
