DescriptionCVE.org

EdTv 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 the admin/edit_source endpoint with crafted SQL UNION statements to extract database information including schema names, user credentials, and version details.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

EdTv 2 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2018-25171) that allows unauthenticated attackers to directly access and manipulate database records without credentials. Any organization running this software faces immediate risk of data breach, data loss, and potential system compromise. Immediate action is required as public exploits exist and no vendor patch is available.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Implement WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'id' parameter; restrict database access to application server IP addresses only; disable or restrict EdTv 2 internet-facing accessibility; enable comprehensive database query logging and monitoring; consider application shutdown until remediation is available; implement input validation at application layer if source code is accessible.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
