CVE-2022-25222
📋 TL;DR
Money Transfer Management System Version 1.0 contains unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerabilities in two administrative endpoints. Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication, potentially compromising the entire database and system. All deployments of this specific version are affected.

📦 What is this software?
Money Transfer Management System by Money Transfer Management System Project
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise including database destruction, sensitive financial data theft, administrative account takeover, and potential lateral movement to other systems.
Likely Case
Database exfiltration of sensitive financial transaction data, user credentials, and system configuration information leading to financial fraud and data breaches.
If Mitigated
Limited information disclosure if proper input validation and database permissions are enforced, but system availability could still be impacted.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection via 'id' parameter is trivial to exploit using standard SQL injection techniques and tools like sqlmap.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Contact the software vendor for patched version. 2. If no patch available, implement workarounds immediately. 3. Consider replacing with alternative software if vendor is unresponsive.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to restrict 'id' parameter to expected values
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Block external access to the vulnerable endpoints using firewall rules or web server configuration
- Implement database-level protections: use least privilege accounts, enable query logging, and restrict database permissions
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the endpoints with SQL injection payloads: /admin/maintenance/manage_branch.php?id=1' OR '1'='1 and /admin/maintenance/manage_fee.php?id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and return appropriate error messages or are blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in web server logs
- Unusual database query patterns
- Multiple failed login attempts from single IP
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual traffic to administrative endpoints
SIEM Query:
web.url:*manage_branch.php* OR web.url:*manage_fee.php* AND (web.param.id:*'* OR web.param.id:*OR* OR web.param.id:*UNION*)
