CVE-2018-25400: The Open ISES Project 3.30A SQL Injection via form_post.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 'id' parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to the ajax/form_post.php endpoint with crafted SQL payloads to extract sensitive database information including schema names and other data.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Open ISES Project 3.30A has an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw. If the vulnerable endpoint is reachable, an attacker may query the application database and expose sensitive data. The source bundle does not identify a vendor patch or active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Open ISES Project 3.30A with the vulnerable web endpoint reachable, especially internet-facing deployments. Prioritize quickly if Open ISES is internet-facing or stores sensitive operational data. The issue is unauthenticated, high severity, and has a public exploit reference, but active exploitation is not confirmed in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Identify any Open ISES Project 3.30A deployments.; Check Open ISES and VulnCheck guidance for vendor fixes or replacement advice.; Restrict public access to Open ISES until remediation is confirmed..

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.
