Summary
CVE-2019-25638 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Meeplace Business Review (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 9.3th 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 RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25638 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the Meeplace Business Review Script. The flaw resides in the addclick.php endpoint, where the 'id' parameter fails to properly sanitize user input, enabling attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL queries.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low attack complexity, though it requires user interaction, as scored at CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N). By crafting GET requests to addclick.php with malicious SQL payloads in the 'id' parameter, they can extract sensitive database information or trigger denial of service.
Advisories and a proof-of-concept exploit are documented in references including the vendor site at http://www.meeplace.com, Exploit-DB at https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46592, and VulnCheck at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/meeplace-business-review-script-lastest-sql-injection-via-addclick-php; no specific patches or mitigations are detailed in the CVE information.
