CVE-2019-25675

eDirectory All Versions SQL Injection Authentication Bypass

Published Apr 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
eDirectory contains multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities that allow unauthenticated attackers to bypass administrator authentication and disclose sensitive files by injecting SQL code into parameters. Attackers can exploit the key parameter in the login endpoint with union-based SQL injection to authenticate as administrator, then leverage authenticated file disclosure vulnerabilities in language_file.php to read arbitrary PHP files from the server.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

eDirectory features multiple SQL injection flaws in its login interface that allow a remote attacker to inject SQL code into the key parameter provided during authentication. The injection is union‑based and provides a means to bypass administrator credentials, effectively granting administrative privileges to the attacker. Once authenticated, the attacker can exploit existing file disclosure weaknesses in language_file.php to read arbitrary PHP files from the server, potentially revealing sensitive information or configuration data.

Affected Systems

All publicly released versions of the eDirectory product by the eDirectory vendor are affected. No specific edition or patch level is limited; the vulnerability applies across the product line.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating a high severity rating. No EPSS score is available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can leverage the flaw over the network by sending an unauthenticated HTTP request to the login endpoint, injecting the malicious payload, and bypassing authentication to obtain full administrative rights. With those rights, attackers can read any PHP file on the server, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and enabling further exploitation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest vendor patch or upgrade to the fixed eDirectory release immediately.
  • Restrict network access to the login endpoint via firewall rules, VPN restrictions, or ISP-level filtering.
  • Ensure that file read operations in language_file.php are restricted to authorized users and that directory listings are disabled.
  • Monitor web application logs for suspicious authentication attempts and unauthorized file access events.
