Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This flaw affects a Yii2 jqGrid widget used in web applications. A logged-in user with adjacent network access could manipulate search options in a way that reaches SQL handling, risking limited data exposure, data changes, or service disruption. The available sources identify version 1.0.8 as the fix.
Executive priority
Treat as a targeted remediation item, not an emergency. Patch systems using the affected Yii2 widget, especially where authenticated users can reach jqGrid search features from less trusted network segments.
Technical view
CVE-2014-125051 is a CWE-89 SQL injection in himiklab/yii2-jqgrid-widget through 1.0.7, specifically addSearchOptionsRecursively in JqGridAction.php. CVSS 3.1 is 5.5 with AV:A, PR:L, UI:N, and low C/I/A impact. The patch is commit a117e0f2df729e3ff726968794d9a5ac40e660b9 and release 1.0.8.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to Yii2 applications that include himiklab/yii2-jqgrid-widget versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.7 and expose jqGrid search functionality to authenticated users on an adjacent network.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not support active exploitation. KEV is false. The CVSS vector indicates low attack complexity, required low privileges, no user interaction, and adjacent-network access rather than broad internet reach.
Researcher notes
Evidence is specific to himiklab yii2-jqgrid-widget and the addSearchOptionsRecursively function. No CPEs are provided. Public sources identify the fixed release and patch, but the bundle does not provide proof of active exploitation or detailed exploit conditions beyond the CVSS vector.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade himiklab/yii2-jqgrid-widget to version 1.0.8 or later.
- Confirm the patch commit is included in deployed builds.
- Prioritize applications exposing jqGrid search features to authenticated users.
- Check vendor guidance before applying any non-upgrade workaround.
- Retest affected workflows after upgrading the component.
Validation and detection
- Inventory dependencies for himiklab/yii2-jqgrid-widget versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.7.
- Identify Yii2 routes or controllers using JqGridAction.php.
- Confirm production dependencies resolve to version 1.0.8 or later.
- Review application logs for abnormal jqGrid search or filter errors.
- Document any exposed affected route and its authentication boundary.
