🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /list endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the city parameter (e.g., city=1' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check script files for version information or review installation documentation.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return appropriate error messages or sanitized responses.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
- Unexpected database queries
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in city parameter
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (city="*' OR*" OR city="*;--*" OR city="*UNION*" OR city="*SELECT*" OR city="*INSERT*" OR city="*UPDATE*" OR city="*DELETE*")
