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-2019-25702 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in Kados R10 GreenBee, where the id_project parameter fails to properly sanitize user input. This allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL code, manipulating database queries. 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 high severity due to its network accessibility and lack of prerequisites.
Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests containing malicious SQL statements in the id_project parameter. Successful exploitation enables extraction of sensitive database information, such as user credentials or project data, and limited modification of database contents, potentially leading to data leakage or unauthorized alterations.
Advisories, including one from VulnCheck, document the issue in Kados R10 GreenBee, while a proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available on Exploit-DB (ID 46505). Additional resources include the project's SourceForge page and official site at kados.info, though no specific patch or mitigation details are outlined in the provided references.
