🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize the search2 parameter before processing
Modify attendancy.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: deny requests containing SQL keywords in search2 parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the search2 parameter in attendancy.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with the same payloads and verify they are properly sanitized or rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
