Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2019-25642 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in Bootstrapy CMS that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through specific POST parameters.
The vulnerability affects multiple modules and parameters, including the thread_id parameter in forum-thread.php, the subject parameter in contact-submit.php, the post-id parameter in post-new-submit.php, and the thread-id parameter.
Attackers exploit these injection points using time-based blind SQL injection payloads that leverage conditional sleep functions and XOR operations to confirm the presence of SQL injection.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers to extract sensitive database information or cause denial of service conditions on the affected Bootstrapy CMS.
- Extraction of sensitive data from the database.
- Denial of service by exploiting SQL injection to disrupt normal operations.
The attack requires no authentication or user interaction, making it easier for attackers to exploit remotely.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
