CVE-2018-25399: The Open ISES Project 3.30A SQL Injection via nearby.php
The Open ISES Project 3.30A contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the tick_lat and tick_lng parameters. Attackers can send GET requests to nearby.php with crafted SQL payloads to extract sensitive database information including usernames, database names, and version details.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Open ISES Project 3.30A has an unauthenticated SQL injection in nearby.php. An attacker could query backend database data through exposed web parameters. The provided sources identify public exploit material, but do not establish active exploitation or a vendor patch. Exposure appears limited to Open ISES Project 3.30A deployments, especially internet-accessible instances exposing nearby.php. Organizations not running Open ISES 3.30A are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Treat as high priority if Open ISES 3.30A is deployed, because unauthenticated database exposure can create sensitive data loss. Priority is lower only if inventory confirms the product is absent or not reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory Open ISES Project deployments and identify any version 3.30A systems.; Check official Open ISES and advisory sources for remediation or replacement guidance.; Restrict external access to affected nearby.php endpoints pending verified remediation..

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.

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.
