| 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-2018-25414 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability found in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0. It occurs in the actor.php file where the 'actor' parameter can be manipulated by unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code.
By sending specially crafted GET requests with malicious SQL payloads in the 'actor' parameter, attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries on the database.
This allows attackers to extract sensitive information such as usernames, database names, and version details from the database.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database information such as usernames, database names, and version details. This exposure of sensitive data can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access.
By enabling attackers to access sensitive data without authentication, the vulnerability increases the risk of data breaches, which can result in legal and financial penalties under these regulations.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have significant impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive database information.
- Attackers can extract usernames, database names, and version details.
- It allows execution of arbitrary SQL commands without authentication.
Such unauthorized data access can lead to data breaches, loss of confidentiality, and potential further exploitation of the system.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring for suspicious GET requests to the actor.php file that include unusual or crafted SQL payloads in the 'actor' parameter.
A practical approach is to analyze web server logs for requests to actor.php with parameters that contain SQL keywords or special characters commonly used in SQL injection attacks.
For example, you can use the following command to search Apache access logs for suspicious requests:
- grep -i "actor.php" /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep -E "(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|--|')"
Additionally, using web vulnerability scanners or tools like sqlmap targeting the actor.php endpoint with the actor parameter can help confirm the presence of the SQL injection.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include restricting or filtering input to the actor parameter in actor.php to prevent SQL injection.
Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to avoid direct injection of user input into SQL queries.
If possible, apply any available patches or updates from the software vendor addressing this vulnerability.
As a temporary measure, consider blocking or monitoring HTTP requests to actor.php that contain suspicious SQL keywords or characters at the web application firewall or network level.
