🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative CMS platforms or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns in search.php, page.php, and posts.php parameters.
Input Validation Filter
allImplement input validation to sanitize search, pageid, and id parameters before processing.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the CMS instance behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
- Implement database-level restrictions to limit query execution permissions
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test search.php, page.php, and posts.php endpoints with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check CMS version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify parameterized queries are implemented and test with SQL injection payloads to confirm blocking📡 Detection & Monitoring
