CVE-2019-25699
Published: 12 April 2026
Summary
CVE-2019-25699 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Gurkanuzunca Newsbull. 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 1.7th 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 RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
Newsbull Haber Script version 1.0.0 is affected by multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities (CWE-89) in the search parameter across several admin endpoints, including /admin/comment/records, /admin/category/records, /admin/news/records, and /admin/menu/childs. These flaws allow attackers to inject malicious SQL code, enabling manipulation of database queries through time-based, blind, and boolean-based techniques to extract sensitive database information. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with low requirements for privileges and complexity.
Authenticated attackers with low privileges, such as standard admin users, can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without user interaction. By submitting crafted payloads in the search parameter, they can achieve data exfiltration, including retrieval of sensitive information from the database, while also enabling limited integrity modifications but without impacting availability.
Advisories from sources like Vulncheck document the authenticated SQL injection via the search parameter, and a proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available on Exploit-DB (ID 46266). The project's GitHub repository and official site at newsbull.org provide additional context, though no patches or specific mitigation steps are detailed in the available references.
