Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Homey BNB V4 has an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw in a room subtotal refresh endpoint. An internet attacker could manipulate database queries through the hosting_id parameter, potentially exposing sensitive database information. This is urgent for any organization running this specific Airbnb-clone script, especially if publicly reachable.
Executive priority
Prioritize this as high if Homey BNB V4 is used. The flaw is remotely reachable without login and may expose database information. If the product is not deployed, no direct action is needed beyond confirming asset inventory.
Technical view
CVE-2019-25489 is CWE-89 SQL injection in Doditsolutions Homey BNB V4. The reported vulnerable endpoint is rooms/ajax_refresh_subtotal, with injection through the hosting_id GET parameter. CVSS 4.0 is 8.8, reflecting network access, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. Public exploit information is referenced by Exploit-DB.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to deployments of Doditsolutions Homey BNB (Airbnb Clone Script) V4, especially internet-facing installations. The provided sources do not identify other affected versions or products.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided data. However, a public Exploit-DB reference exists, meaning technical details may be available to attackers. Sources support unauthenticated network exploitation, but not confirmed active exploitation.
Researcher notes
Evidence comes from the CVE record, VulnCheck advisory, product reference, and Exploit-DB listing. The source bundle names V4 only. No source in the bundle provides a specific patch version, workaround, or confirmation of exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation direction
- Identify whether Homey BNB V4 is deployed in your environment.
- Check Doditsolutions or trusted advisories for vendor patches or upgrade guidance.
- Restrict public access to the affected application where business allows.
- Apply web application filtering for SQL injection patterns as a temporary control.
- Review database permissions used by the application for least privilege.
Validation and detection
- Inventory public web applications for Homey BNB V4 indicators.
- Check application routes for rooms/ajax_refresh_subtotal exposure.
- Review web logs for suspicious hosting_id parameter activity.
- Confirm whether any vendor update or replacement has been applied.
- Validate database account privileges are not overly broad.

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.
