CVE-2019-25692
Published: 05 April 2026
Summary
CVE-2019-25692 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Marmotech Kados. 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 22.7th 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-2019-25692 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Kados R10 GreenBee, where the 'id_to_modify' parameter fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL code in database queries. This flaw affects the Kados R10 GreenBee software, an open-source project hosted on SourceForge.
The vulnerability 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), indicating it is exploitable over the network with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required. Remote attackers can craft malicious HTTP requests embedding SQL statements in the 'id_to_modify' field to extract sensitive database information or modify data, resulting in high confidentiality impact and low integrity impact.
Advisories and related resources, including those from VulnCheck and Exploit-DB (exploit 46505), detail the issue and provide proof-of-concept exploitation code. The official Kados project pages on SourceForge and kados.info offer additional context on the software but do not specify patches or mitigations in the available references. Security practitioners should verify for updates directly from these sources.
A public exploit is available on Exploit-DB, indicating practical exploitability in lab environments.

SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection by validating and sanitizing the 'id_to_modify' parameter to block malicious SQL code execution.
SI-2 requires timely identification and patching of the SQL injection flaw in Kados R10 GreenBee, eliminating the vulnerability.
SC-7 enforces boundary protection, such as web application firewalls, to inspect and block incoming requests with SQL injection payloads in the 'id_to_modify' parameter.
