CVE-2022-30054

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2022-30054 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Covid 19 Travel Pass Management 1.0 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through the code parameter. This affects all systems running the vulnerable version of this travel pass management software. Successful exploitation could lead to complete database compromise.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Covid 19 Travel Pass Management
Versions: Version 1.0
Operating Systems: Any OS running the application
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of version 1.0 are vulnerable regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database takeover allowing data theft, modification, deletion, and potential remote code execution on the database server.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive personal and travel data, including PII and COVID test/vaccination records.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications are typically internet-facing and directly accessible to attackers.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems could still be vulnerable to insider threats or compromised internal hosts.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

SQL injection vulnerabilities are well-understood with many automated tools available for exploitation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement Input Validation

all

Add server-side validation to sanitize and validate the code parameter before processing.

# PHP example: Use prepared statements
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM table WHERE code = :code');
$stmt->execute(['code' => $code]);

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests.

# Example ModSecurity rule
SecRule ARGS:code "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the vulnerable system in a separate network segment with strict access controls.
  • Implement database-level protections: use least privilege accounts, enable database auditing, and encrypt sensitive data.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the code parameter with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 and observe if database errors or unexpected results occur.

Check Version:

Check application version in admin panel or configuration files; look for version 1.0 indicators.

Verify Fix Applied:

Retest with SQL injection payloads after implementing fixes; successful payloads should be rejected or sanitized.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL payloads
  • Requests with suspicious characters in code parameter

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in parameters
  • Unusual database query patterns from application server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND ("' OR" OR "UNION SELECT" OR "SQL syntax") AND uri_path="/travel_pass"
