Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2018-25195 affects Wecodex Hotel CMS 1.0. The admin login can be tricked through SQL injection, potentially letting an unauthenticated attacker bypass login, access sensitive database data, or gain administrative control. This is business-relevant where the CMS is internet-facing or stores guest, booking, or payment-adjacent information.
Executive priority
Prioritize assessment if this CMS supports active hotel operations or stores customer data. Public exploit information and unauthenticated access make this a high-risk legacy application issue, even though active exploitation is not confirmed by the provided sources.
Technical view
The vulnerability is CWE-89 SQL injection in the admin login workflow. Sources describe injection through the username parameter in POST requests to index.php with action=processlogin. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.8, with network access, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations running Wecodex Hotel CMS version 1.0, especially public hotel-management portals or admin interfaces reachable from the internet. No affected CPEs are listed in the provided source bundle.
Exploitation context
An Exploit-DB entry is listed, indicating public exploit information exists. The CVE is not marked in CISA KEV, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
Evidence comes from the CVE record, VulnCheck advisory, product page, and Exploit-DB reference. The sources identify the vulnerable parameter and affected version, but do not provide a vendor patch or official mitigation. Avoid assuming other Wecodex products or versions are affected.
Mitigation direction
- Identify whether Wecodex Hotel CMS 1.0 is deployed.
- Restrict public access to the admin login interface where possible.
- Check Wecodex or trusted advisory sources for updates or replacement guidance.
- Review web and database logs for suspicious admin login activity.
- Consider retiring or isolating the product if no vendor fix is available.
Validation and detection
- Confirm product name and version from application files or administrative metadata.
- Verify whether the admin login is reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review logs for abnormal login attempts and database error patterns.
- Check whether compensating controls block SQL injection attempts.
- Document affected instances and remediation status.

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.
