Received Received - Intake
Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in Bootstrapy CMS Allow Data Theft

Publication date: 2026-03-24

Last updated on: 2026-03-24

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
Bootstrapy CMS contains multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities that allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through POST parameters. Attackers can inject SQL payloads into the thread_id parameter of forum-thread.php, the subject parameter of contact-submit.php, the post-id parameter of post-new-submit.php, and the thread-id parameter to extract sensitive database information or cause denial of service.

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.

Executive Summary

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.

Impact Analysis

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.

Detection Guidance

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted POST requests to the vulnerable endpoints with specific SQL injection payloads that use time-based blind SQL injection techniques.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Send a POST request to /modules/forums/forum-thread.php with the parameter thread_id set to: 0'XOR(if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(5),0))XOR'Z"}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Send a POST request to /modules/pages/contact-submit.php with the parameter subject set to: 0'XOR(if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(5),0))XOR'Z"}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Send a POST request to /modules/forums/post-new-submit.php with the parameter post-id set to: 0'XOR(if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(5),0))XOR'Z"}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Send a POST request to /modules/forums/post-new-submit.php with the parameter thread-id set to: 0'XOR(if(now()=sysdate(),sleep(0),0))XOR'Z"}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'If the server response is delayed by the sleep time (usually 5 seconds), it indicates the presence of the SQL injection vulnerability.'}] [1]
