Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-0698 is a SQL injection vulnerability (classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89) in JoeyBling bootplus up to commit 247d5f6c209be1a5cf10cd0fa18e1d8cc63cf55d. The flaw affects an unknown function in the file /admin/sys/menu/list, where manipulation of the sort/order arguments enables SQL injection.

The vulnerability is exploitable remotely by an authenticated attacker with low privileges (PR:L), requiring no user interaction and low complexity (AV:N/AC:L/UI:N). Per its CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (C:L/I:L/A:L/S:U), exploitation can result in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used.

Advisories, including GitHub issues #19 and #19#issue-2786879797 in the bootplus repository as well as VulDB entries, provide details on the issue. The project employs continuous delivery with rolling releases, so no specific affected or patched versions are available; security practitioners should monitor the repository for updates beyond the referenced commit.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.5.6 Contact with special interest groups partial match
prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

A.5.7 Threat intelligence partial match
prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.
