Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 23.8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25491 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting Homey BNB V4, an Airbnb clone script. The issue exists in the admin/cms_getpagetitle.php endpoint, where the catid parameter fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code and manipulate database queries.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability remotely by sending GET requests to the vulnerable endpoint with malicious values in the catid parameter. This enables extraction of sensitive database information, with 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), reflecting high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, no availability impact, and low attack complexity over the network without privileges or user interaction.
Advisories and references include a proof-of-concept exploit documented on Exploit-DB (46616), details from DoDIT Solutions on the Airbnb clone script at https://www.doditsolutions.com/airbnb-clone-script/, and a VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/homey-bnb-sql-injection-via-cmsgetpagetitlephp. Practitioners should consult these sources for any available patches or mitigation recommendations, as no specific remediation steps are detailed in the core vulnerability description.
