CVE-2018-25185
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedWecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL code through the username parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to the login endpoint with malicious SQL payloads using boolean-based blind or time-based blind techniques to extract sensitive database information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceWecodex Restaurant CMS 1.0 has a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the login endpoint's username parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can send POST requests with malicious SQL payloads using boolean-based blind or time-based blind techniques to extract sensitive data from the database.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the application versionLocate and inspect the application files or admin panel to determine the exact version of Wecodex Restaurant CMS installed. Check version files, about pages, or meta information in the source code.Affected if the installed version is 1.0 specifically
-
Verify login endpoint accessibilityConfirm the login page is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS. Typical paths include /login, /admin/login, or /. Test by accessing these URLs and checking for a login form response.Affected if the login endpoint returns a form and accepts POST requests
-
Check for the vulnerable authentication handlerLocate the login processing script in the application. In the web root, search for files that handle username parameters in authentication logic, such as checklogin.php, login.php, auth.php, or similar authentication handlers.Affected if the login handler processes a username parameter without parameterized queries
-
Confirm SQL injection susceptibilitySend a test POST request to the login endpoint with a benign SQL payload in the username parameter (e.g., username: "' OR '1'='1"). Observe if the application returns different responses based on the payload, indicating SQL syntax is being interpreted.Affected if the application reflects SQL syntax in errors or returns different responses to boolean-based SQL payloads
the system is affected if Wecodex Restaurant CMS version 1.0 is installed and the login endpoint processes username input without parameterized queries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace string concatenation in login queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements. Additionally, implement input validation, apply least-privilege database accounts, and audit the application for additional SQL injection points.
