CVE-2018-25404: The Open ISES Project 3.30A SQL Injection via add_facnote.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 ticket_id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to add_facnote.php with crafted SQL payloads to extract sensitive database information including version details and other data.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Open ISES Project 3.30A has an unauthenticated SQL injection issue. A reachable vulnerable instance could let an attacker query backend database contents, including sensitive operational data. The sources do not identify active exploitation, but they do cite a public exploit reference, which increases urgency for exposed deployments. Exposure is limited to organizations running Open ISES Project 3.30A. Risk is highest where the application is reachable from the internet or broadly accessible internal networks. The bundle does not list affected CPEs or other versions. Prioritize discovery and containment for any reachable Open ISES Project 3.30A instance. The business concern is potential database disclosure without credentials. If the product is unused or unsupported, retirement may be lower risk than waiting for unclear remediation guidance. Mitigation focus: Identify and inventory all Open ISES Project deployments and versions.; Remove internet exposure until vendor guidance or a safe replacement is confirmed.; Check the official project and advisory sources for any fixed release or vendor mitigation..

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.
