CVE-2021-25779

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

Baby Care System v1.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the 'id' parameter of contentsectionpage.php. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database, potentially compromising sensitive data. Any organization using this vulnerable version is affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Baby Care System
Versions: v1.0
Operating Systems: Any OS running PHP with database backend
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires PHP environment with database connectivity (likely MySQL/MariaDB).

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, or full system takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive baby care records, personal information exposure, and potential database corruption.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or partial data exposure.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web application accessible from internet with direct SQL injection vector.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Still significant risk if internal users can exploit, but attack surface is reduced.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

SQL injection via GET/POST parameter is trivial to exploit with standard tools like sqlmap.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing custom fixes.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add parameter validation to only accept numeric values for 'id' parameter

Modify contentsectionpage.php to include: if(!is_numeric($_GET['id'])) { die('Invalid input'); }

Web Application Firewall

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection protection rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
  • Implement network segmentation to limit database access from web server only

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test with sqlmap: sqlmap -u 'http://target/contentsectionpage.php?id=1' --dbs

Check Version:

Check PHP files for version comments or README documentation

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt SQL injection payloads like: contentsectionpage.php?id=1' OR '1'='1

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in PHP/application logs
  • Multiple requests with SQL keywords in 'id' parameter

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL injection patterns to contentsectionpage.php

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="*contentsectionpage.php*" AND (query="*UNION*" OR query="*SELECT*" OR query="*OR '1'='1*")
