CVE-2018-25411: MGB OpenSource Guestbook 0.7.0.2 SQL Injection via email.php
MGB OpenSource Guestbook 0.7.0.2 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 email.php with crafted SQL payloads in the 'id' parameter to extract sensitive database information including table and column names.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This is a database injection flaw in MGB OpenSource Guestbook 0.7.0.2. A remote unauthenticated attacker could abuse the public guestbook email component to query database data. For an exposed legacy guestbook, the business risk is sensitive information disclosure and possible database tampering, but the sources do not show confirmed active exploitation or a vendor fix. Exposure is likely limited to internet-reachable deployments of MGB OpenSource Guestbook version 0.7.0.2. Organizations are most at risk if the old guestbook is still publicly hosted, connected to sensitive databases, or forgotten on legacy PHP web servers. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing instance because exploitation requires no login or user action. If the software is unused, retire it. If it is business-critical, isolate it immediately while checking for vendor guidance and signs of data exposure. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove public exposure of MGB OpenSource Guestbook 0.7.0.2 where possible.; Check vendor, SourceForge, and VulnCheck guidance for any fixed release or official workaround.; If business use continues, restrict access behind authentication, VPN, or allowlisted networks..

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.

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.
