Deeper analysis

CVE-2018-25167 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Net-Billetterie version 2.9, specifically within the login parameter of the login.inc.php file. Published on 2026-03-06, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with low integrity impact and no availability impact. The vulnerability enables execution of arbitrary SQL queries due to insufficient input validation on the login POST parameter.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted SQL payloads via the login parameter during authentication attempts. Exploitation allows attackers to extract sensitive database contents, such as usernames, passwords, and system credentials, potentially compromising the application's data integrity and user accounts.
