CVE-2017-17619

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2017-17619 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Laundry Booking Script 1.0 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the /list city parameter. This affects all deployments of Laundry Booking Script 1.0 that are exposed to untrusted input. Attackers can potentially read, modify, or delete database contents.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Laundry Booking Script
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: All platforms running PHP with database backend
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Any installation using the default configuration is vulnerable. The vulnerability exists in the core application code.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and potential authentication bypass leading to administrative access.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications with this vulnerability exposed to the internet are immediately vulnerable to automated attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still vulnerable to insider threats or compromised internal accounts.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Multiple public exploit scripts are available. The vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited with simple HTTP requests.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch exists. Recommended to upgrade to a different booking system or implement custom fixes with parameterized queries.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add server-side validation to sanitize the city parameter before processing

Modify PHP code to validate city parameter using preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/', $city) or similar

Web Application Firewall Rule

all

Block SQL injection patterns in the city parameter

Add WAF rule to detect and block SQL keywords in /list endpoint parameters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable system from sensitive networks
  • Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /list endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: /list?city=' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check application files for version information or review installation documentation

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or sanitized

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
  • Unexpected database queries from web application

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /list endpoint with SQL keywords in parameters
  • Unusual database traffic patterns from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/list" AND (param="city" AND value MATCHES "'.*OR.*|'.*AND.*|'.*UNION.*")
