Check CMS version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in web server logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL keywords in username field
- Successful logins from unusual IP addresses
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /includes/login.php containing SQL keywords
- Unusual database query patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/includes/login.php" AND (user_name CONTAINS "' OR" OR user_name CONTAINS "UNION" OR user_name CONTAINS "SELECT")🔗 References
