CVE-2017-15958

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2017-15958 is a SQL injection vulnerability in D-Park Pro Domain Parking Script 1.0 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the username parameter in admin/loginform.php. This affects all installations of D-Park Pro Domain Parking Script version 1.0, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the database and system compromise.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • D-Park Pro Domain Parking Script
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: All platforms running PHP
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of version 1.0 are vulnerable by default. The vulnerability exists in the core authentication mechanism.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, remote code execution, and full system takeover.

🟠

Likely Case

Authentication bypass allowing unauthorized admin access, data extraction, and potential privilege escalation.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is in a web-accessible login form, making it directly exploitable from the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - While less exposed, internal attackers could still exploit this vulnerability if they have network access.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: CONFIRMED
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Multiple public exploit scripts are available. Exploitation requires no authentication and can be automated.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: N/A

Vendor Advisory: N/A

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Upgrade to a different software solution or implement custom fixes with parameterized queries and input validation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement Input Validation

all

Add server-side validation to sanitize username input and reject SQL injection attempts.

Edit admin/loginform.php to add input sanitization functions like mysqli_real_escape_string() or use prepared statements.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF to block SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests.

Configure WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the login form.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the vulnerable system behind a firewall with strict access controls.
  • Implement network segmentation to limit potential lateral movement if compromised.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the login form with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in the username field and observe if authentication bypass occurs.

Check Version:

Check the script version in the software documentation or configuration files.

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt SQL injection after implementing fixes and verify that authentication fails and no SQL errors are returned.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL injection patterns
  • Successful admin logins from unexpected IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to admin/loginform.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, OR

SIEM Query:

source="web_server.log" AND ("admin/loginform.php" AND ("SQL" OR "syntax" OR "UNION" OR "SELECT"))
