CVE-2018-25401: The Open ISES Project 3.30A SQL Injection via sever_graph.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 p1 parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to sever_graph.php 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 a SQL injection flaw that can let an unauthenticated internet user query the application database. The main business concern is exposure of sensitive data. The provided sources do not name a vendor patch or confirm active exploitation in the wild. Exposure is most likely where Open ISES Project 3.30A is deployed and reachable by untrusted users. The bundle provides no CPEs, no affected-host telemetry, and no evidence that other Open ISES versions are affected. Prioritize internet-facing Open ISES 3.30A systems for immediate containment and remediation review. The issue threatens database confidentiality and has public exploit material, but current sources do not prove active exploitation or identify a vendor patch. Mitigation focus: Identify and isolate any Open ISES Project 3.30A deployments.; Check official Open ISES and VulnCheck guidance for any fixed release or mitigation.; Restrict external access to the affected application until remediated..

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.
