Summary
CVE-2019-25684 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Opendocman Opendocman. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 24.3th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25684 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting OpenDocMan version 1.3.4. The issue exists in the search.php component, where the 'where' parameter fails to properly sanitize user input, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code into database queries.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending GET requests to search.php with malicious SQL payloads in the 'where' parameter. Exploitation allows manipulation of database queries to extract sensitive 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, and no availability impact.
Advisories and related resources include a VulnCheck advisory on the OpenDocMan SQL injection via the 'where' parameter, an Exploit-DB entry (46500) providing a proof-of-concept exploit, and the OpenDocMan project files on SourceForge.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection by requiring validation and sanitization of user inputs like the malicious 'where' parameter in search.php before database query execution.
SI-2 mandates timely identification, reporting, and correction of flaws such as the unsanitized 'where' parameter, eliminating the SQL injection vulnerability.
RA-5 requires vulnerability scanning that identifies SQL injection issues like CVE-2019-25684 in search.php for prompt remediation.
