This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting malicious SQL code via the \u0026rsquo;news ID\u0026rsquo; parameter. Successful exploitation grants attackers the ability to extract sensitive information directly from the application database. The vulnerability lies within the index.php/show/news/ endpoint and can be exploited via simple HTTP GET requests, making it easily accessible. The risk to organizations using this vulnerable software is significant, potentially leading to data breaches and unauthorized access to confidential information.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn unauthenticated attacker identifies a vulnerable instance of News Website Script 2.0.5.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious HTTP GET request targeting the \u003ccode\u003e/index.php/show/news/\u003c/code\u003e endpoint.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crafted GET request includes a \u003ccode\u003enews\u003c/code\u003e parameter containing a SQL injection payload.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe web server receives the malicious request and passes the SQL injection payload to the application\u0026rsquo;s database query.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe database executes the injected SQL code without proper sanitization.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker extracts sensitive data from the database, such as user credentials, financial information, or proprietary data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker may use the extracted information to further compromise the system or network.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2019-25668) can lead to the complete compromise of the affected News Website Script 2.0.5 database.
