Deeper analysis

CVE-2019-25542 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Netartmedia Real Estate Portal 5.0. The flaw resides in the index.php component, where the user_email parameter fails to properly sanitize input, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code into database queries. 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) and was published on 2026-03-12T16:16:09.297.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted POST requests to index.php with malicious payloads in the user_email field. Exploitation enables manipulation of database queries, including bypassing authentication mechanisms, extracting sensitive data from the database, or modifying database contents.
