Analyst readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Kepler Wallpaper Script 1.1 has an unauthenticated SQL injection in the category parameter. A remote attacker could query the application database and expose sensitive data such as usernames and database metadata. The sources do not identify a vendor patch or confirmed active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat this as high priority for any internet-facing deployment. The main business risk is database exposure from a niche PHP application with public exploit information and no patch confirmed in the supplied sources.
Technical view
CVE-2019-25576 is CWE-89 in Kepler Wallpaper Script 1.1. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.8. The vulnerability is network-accessible, low-complexity, needs no privileges or user interaction, and affects confidentiality heavily with limited integrity impact. Public exploit material is referenced by Exploit-DB.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Kepler Wallpaper Script version 1.1, especially if the site is internet-facing and the category functionality is reachable.
Exploitation context
Public exploit information exists, but the provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. The attack path is unauthenticated and remote, increasing urgency for exposed deployments.
Researcher notes
Do not assume broad exposure without asset confirmation. The advisory scope is Kepler Wallpaper Script 1.1 only. The source bundle cites Exploit-DB and VulnCheck, but does not provide evidence of active exploitation or a named fixed version.
Mitigation direction
- Identify any Kepler Wallpaper Script installations and confirm whether version 1.1 is in use.
- Check vendor or marketplace guidance for an update, replacement, or official remediation.
- Restrict public access to affected functionality if business operations allow.
- Use database least privilege for the application account.
- Monitor web and database logs for suspicious category-parameter activity.
Validation and detection
- Inventory public web assets for Kepler Wallpaper Script.
- Confirm application version from administrative records or deployed files.
- Verify whether category pages are externally reachable.
- Review web logs for abnormal category-parameter requests.
- Review database logs for unexpected metadata queries or errors.

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.
