CVE-2019-25505

7.1 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

Tradebox 5.4 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the monthly_deposit endpoint's symbol parameter that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries. This enables attackers to extract sensitive database information using various SQL injection techniques. Organizations running Tradebox 5.4 with authenticated user access are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tradebox
Versions: 5.4
Operating Systems: Any OS running Tradebox
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access to exploit; any Tradebox 5.4 installation is vulnerable by default

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including extraction of sensitive financial data, user credentials, and potential data manipulation or deletion

🟠

Likely Case

Extraction of sensitive business data, financial records, and user information from the database

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact due to proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH if Tradebox is exposed to the internet with authenticated user access
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM for internal networks as authenticated attackers could still exploit the vulnerability

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: CONFIRMED
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit code is publicly available; requires authenticated access but exploitation is straightforward

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available; implement workarounds and consider upgrading to a newer version if available

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation for the symbol parameter to reject malicious SQL characters

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting the monthly_deposit endpoint

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to restrict access to Tradebox only to authorized users
  • Monitor and audit all POST requests to the monthly_deposit endpoint for suspicious patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the monthly_deposit endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the symbol parameter while authenticated

Check Version:

Check Tradebox version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that parameterized queries are implemented

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to monthly_deposit with SQL keywords in symbol parameter
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by SQL injection attempts

Network Indicators:

  • POST requests containing SQL injection payloads in symbol parameter
  • Unusual database query patterns from Tradebox application

SIEM Query:

source="tradebox_logs" AND (uri="/monthly_deposit" AND (symbol CONTAINS "UNION" OR symbol CONTAINS "SELECT" OR symbol CONTAINS "OR 1=1"))
