CVE-2018-25407 Endonesia CVE debrief

CVE-2018-25407 documents multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in eNdonesia Portal 8.7, a content management system. The vulnerability resides in the mod.php file where multiple parameters fail to properly sanitize user input before incorporating it into SQL queries. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this flaw through the artid, cid, did, contid, and aboutid parameters across five distinct modules: publisher, diskusi, galeri, content, and about. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary SQL query execution, permitting extraction of sensitive database information including usernames, database names, and version details. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector with low attack complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact. The vulnerability was disclosed with proof-of-concept availability via Exploit-DB. No known active exploitation in ransomware campaigns has been cataloged in CISA KEV.

Who should care

Organizations running eNdonesia Portal 8.7; web application security teams; database administrators; incident response teams monitoring for SQL injection activity

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in mod.php of eNdonesia Portal 8.7 where user-supplied parameters are directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization. The affected parameters (artid, cid, did, contid, aboutid) span five modules (publisher, diskusi, galeri, content, about). An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL syntax to execute queries against the backend database, extracting schema information, user credentials, and version data. The attack requires no authentication and no user interaction, making it trivially exploitable via standard HTTP requests.

Defensive priority

HIGH

Recommended defensive actions

  • Apply input validation and parameterized queries to all mod.php parameters including artid, cid, did, contid, and aboutid across publisher, diskusi, galeri, content, and about modules
  • Implement prepared statements or stored procedures to eliminate direct SQL concatenation with user-supplied input
  • Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting identified parameters
  • Restrict database account privileges used by the application to least-privilege principles
  • Monitor application logs for anomalous query patterns and repeated failed requests to mod.php
  • Review and update to a patched version of eNdonesia Portal if available from the vendor
  • Conduct code review of additional modules for similar injection vulnerabilities
