CVE-2019-25515
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 · uneditedJettweb PHP Hazir Haber Sitesi Scripti V3 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the login.php administration panel that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access by submitting crafted SQL syntax. Attackers can bypass authentication by submitting equals signs and 'or' operators as username and password parameters to access the administration panel without valid credentials.
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 confidenceJettweb PHP Hazir Haber Sitesi Scripti V3 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in login.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication. By submitting crafted SQL syntax containing equals signs and 'or' operators in the username and password parameters, attackers can manipulate the SQL query to always return true, granting administrative access without valid credentials.

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 Jettweb PHP Script installationLocate the Jettweb PHP script files in your web root directory. Check for files named 'login.php' and any version indicators such as version files, headers, or documentation files that indicate the script version.Affected if The installed script is Jettweb PHP Hazir Haber Sitesi Scripti or Jettweb Php Stock News Site Script version 3.
-
Locate the login.php fileFind the login.php file within the web application directory structure, typically in the root or an admin subdirectory.Affected if The login.php file exists in the application directory.
-
Inspect login.php for SQL query vulnerabilityOpen login.php and examine the SQL query logic, particularly around the username and password parameter handling. Look for direct string concatenation of user inputs into SQL queries without prepared statements or parameterized queries.Affected if The login.php code contains SQL queries that directly incorporate username and password parameters without using parameterized queries or prepared statements.
-
Check authentication bypass exposureDetermine if the login.php endpoint is accessible from untrusted networks. Verify whether the admin panel is publicly accessible over the internet without network-level restrictions.Affected if The login.php is reachable from unauthenticated/untrusted network sources without IP restrictions or VPN requirements.
A user is affected if they have Jettweb PHP Stock News Site Script version 3 installed with the vulnerable login.php that uses direct SQL concatenation and is accessible to unauthenticated attackers.

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 dataImmediate remediation requires replacing the vulnerable SQL query with parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Input validation and proper authentication logic should also be implemented. Until patched, the admin panel should not be exposed to untrusted networks.
