CVE-2018-25372: MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 SQL Injection via email
MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the email parameter. Attackers can submit crafted POST requests to the userSignup.php endpoint with SQL payloads in the email field to extract sensitive database information from the backend MySQL database.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This vulnerability affects MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1. An unauthenticated attacker could abuse a signup email field to query the backend database. For healthcare imaging environments, the main business concern is exposure of sensitive patient or operational data from a PACS system.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority data exposure risk for any affected PACS instance. The urgency is highest where the system is externally reachable or stores patient imaging metadata or account information.
Technical view
CVE-2018-25372 is a CWE-89 SQL injection in the email parameter of userSignup.php. The supplied CVSS 4.0 score is 8.8, with network access, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required. Sources identify MySQL database information exposure as the primary impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1 with the affected signup endpoint reachable, especially if internet-accessible or exposed through a partner portal.
Exploitation context
The bundle includes an ExploitDB reference, so public exploit information exists. It does not cite CISA KEV or other evidence of active exploitation; active exploitation should not be assumed from the provided sources.
Researcher notes
Evidence is specific to MedDream PACS Server Premium 6.7.1.1. The source bundle names SQL injection through the email parameter but does not provide a vendor patch note, affected version range beyond 6.7.1.1, or confirmed exploitation telemetry.
Mitigation direction
Check MedDream guidance for supported fixed versions or official remediation.
Restrict public access to MedDream PACS until remediation is confirmed.
Disable or tightly control self-service signup if business operations allow.
Add temporary monitoring for suspicious signup requests and database errors.
Prioritize systems handling patient imaging or regulated health data.
Validation and detection
Inventory MedDream PACS deployments and confirm exact product version.
Determine whether userSignup.php is reachable from untrusted networks.
Review web logs for unusual POST activity to signup workflows.
Review database logs for abnormal queries or data enumeration signs.
Confirm remediation status against vendor or advisory guidance.

CWE-89: Database access and collection lookup
Injection into data stores can inform collection, data access, and exfiltration detection reviews. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
