Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25509 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in XooDigital Latest, affecting the results.php component. The flaw allows attackers to inject SQL code through the 'p' parameter in GET requests, enabling manipulation of database queries. It has 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 severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and significant confidentiality impact with minor integrity impact.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely by sending crafted GET requests to results.php with malicious values in the 'p' parameter. Successful exploitation allows extraction of sensitive database information, such as user credentials or other confidential data stored in the backend database.
