📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full database compromise allowing data exfiltration, modification, or deletion; potential remote code execution if database permissions allow; complete system takeover.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized database access leading to sensitive data exposure (user credentials, personal information, financial data).

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database user privilege restrictions.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public PoC available on GitHub. Exploitation requires minimal technical skill due to simple SQL injection vector.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation to sanitize the parent parameter before processing

Modify index.php to add: $parent = filter_var($_GET['parent'], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);

Web Application Firewall Rule

all

Block SQL injection patterns in the parent parameter

Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:parent "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate dynamicMarkt from critical systems
  • Enable detailed logging and monitoring for SQL injection attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test by sending SQL injection payloads to the parent parameter: /index.php?parent=1' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check dynamicMarkt version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with same payloads after implementing fixes; should return error or sanitized response

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in database logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
  • Requests with SQL keywords in parent parameter

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL injection patterns in URL parameters
  • Unusual database traffic from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (url="*parent=*' OR*" OR url="*parent=*' UNION*" OR url="*parent=*' SELECT*")
