Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Wecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0 has an unauthenticated SQL injection in the login username field. A remote attacker could manipulate database queries and extract sensitive database information. The issue is high urgency for any organization still running this CMS, especially if the login page is internet-accessible.
Executive priority
Prioritize this for rapid inventory and containment. A public exploit reference and unauthenticated database exposure make this a meaningful business risk, even without confirmed active exploitation. Internet-facing instances should be handled before internal-only or decommissioned systems.
Technical view
CVE-2018-25185 is CWE-89 SQL injection in Wecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0 via the login endpoint username parameter. The record describes boolean-based blind and time-based blind techniques, network attackability, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. CVSS v4.0 score is 8.8.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Wecodex Restaurant CMS version 1.0. Risk is highest where the application login endpoint is publicly reachable and backed by sensitive database content. The sources do not identify other affected versions or products.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided data, so active exploitation is not confirmed. However, the source bundle includes an Exploit-DB reference, meaning public exploit information exists. Treat internet-exposed deployments as higher-risk until remediated or retired.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse but consistent: Wecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0, login username parameter, SQL injection, CVSS 8.8. The provided sources do not name a vendor patch or fixed version. Avoid assuming broader affected versions without additional vendor confirmation.
Mitigation direction
- Identify any Wecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0 deployments and owners.
- Check Wecodex or trusted advisories for patch, upgrade, or retirement guidance.
- Remove public access to affected login pages where business allows.
- Place affected systems behind authentication, VPN, or network allow-listing.
- Use database least privilege for the application account.
- Monitor for abnormal login activity and database query errors.
Validation and detection
- Confirm product name and version on each suspected deployment.
- Determine whether the CMS login endpoint is internet-accessible.
- Review web and database logs for suspicious login requests.
- Perform authorized, non-destructive SQL injection testing in a safe environment.
- Verify whether remediation or compensating access controls are in place.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
