CVE-2019-25460 in Platinum E-Ticaret
Summary
by MITRE • 02/22/2026
Web Ofisi Platinum E-Ticaret v5 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL code through the 'q' GET parameter. Attackers can send requests to the arama endpoint with malicious 'q' values using time-based SQL injection techniques to extract sensitive database information.

This vulnerability resides within Web Ofisi Platinum E-Ticaret version 5, a web-based e-commerce platform that falls under the category of web applications susceptible to sql injection attacks. The flaw manifests through the arama endpoint which processes user input through the 'q' get parameter without adequate sanitization or validation. This represents a critical security weakness that violates fundamental web application security principles and aligns with CWE-89 which describes improper neutralization of special elements used in sql commands. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary sql commands against the underlying database, effectively bypassing normal authentication mechanisms and access controls.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability employs time-based sql injection techniques, a sophisticated method where attackers craft malicious input that causes the database to delay responses based on boolean conditions. When the application processes the 'q' parameter without proper input validation, attackers can construct payloads that force the database to wait for specific time intervals, thereby extracting information through timing differences. This approach is particularly effective because it operates silently without requiring explicit error messages or direct data retrieval mechanisms. The attack vector demonstrates a clear violation of the principle of least privilege and proper input validation as defined in the OWASP Top Ten 2017 category a03.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft, encompassing complete database compromise and potential system takeover. An attacker could extract sensitive information including user credentials, customer data, product inventories, and administrative configurations. This represents a significant risk to business continuity and regulatory compliance, particularly under gdpr and other data protection frameworks. The vulnerability's unauthenticated nature makes it especially dangerous as any user can exploit it without prior access credentials, effectively creating a backdoor for persistent attacks. This aligns with ATT&CK technique T1071.004 for application layer protocol manipulation and T1005 for data from local system.
Mitigation strategies should focus on implementing robust input validation and parameterized queries to prevent sql injection attacks. The application should employ proper escape sequences and input sanitization techniques before processing any user-supplied data. Additionally, implementing web application firewalls and database activity monitoring can provide additional layers of defense. Regular security testing including automated scanning and manual penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities. The fix should involve updating the arama endpoint to utilize prepared statements or stored procedures that separate sql command structure from data, thereby eliminating the possibility of sql injection through the 'q' parameter. Organizations should also implement proper access controls and monitoring to detect unusual database access patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts.
