🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /HandleEvent endpoint with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check web server version in HTTP headers or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify SQL injection attempts are blocked or properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed /HandleEvent requests with SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /HandleEvent with SQL keywords in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/HandleEvent" AND (param CONTAINS "UNION" OR param CONTAINS "SELECT" OR param CONTAINS "OR '1'='1")
