| 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. |

How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts as it allows attackers to access sensitive database information without authentication.
- Exposure of usernames which could lead to further unauthorized access.
- Disclosure of database names and version details that can aid attackers in crafting more targeted attacks.
Overall, it compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the database, potentially leading to data breaches.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive database information such as usernames, database names, and version details through SQL injection.
Exposure of sensitive data due to this vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access.
However, the provided information does not explicitly state the impact on compliance with these standards.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2018-25416 is an SQL injection vulnerability found in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0, specifically in the country.php file.
This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by injecting malicious code through the country parameter.
Attackers exploit this by sending specially crafted GET requests with SQL payloads, which can lead to extraction of sensitive database information such as usernames, database names, and version details.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted GET requests to the country.php file with SQL injection payloads in the country parameter and observing the responses for signs of SQL injection.
- Use curl or similar tools to send a test request: curl "http://<target>/country.php?country=' OR '1'='1"
- Monitor web server logs for suspicious GET requests targeting country.php with unusual or encoded SQL syntax.
- Use automated vulnerability scanners that support SQL injection detection on the country.php endpoint.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include validating and sanitizing all user inputs, especially the country parameter in country.php, to prevent SQL injection.
- Implement prepared statements or parameterized queries to handle database inputs safely.
- Restrict direct access to country.php or apply web application firewall (WAF) rules to block malicious payloads targeting the country parameter.
- Monitor and analyze logs for suspicious activity and block offending IP addresses if necessary.
