Notes: The vulnerability exists in the default installation with no special configuration required.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and potential system takeover.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, modification of travel pass records, and potential extraction of sensitive user information.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting damage to non-critical data.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerable endpoint is accessible via web interface and requires no authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this if they have network access to the system.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

The exploit requires no authentication and uses simple SQL injection techniques. Public proof-of-concept exists in the referenced GitHub repository.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No official vendor advisory found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as workaround.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Add server-side validation to ensure 'id' parameter contains only expected characters (numbers)

Modify /ctpms/admin/applications/update_status.php to validate input before processing

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint

Add WAF rule: Block requests to /ctpms/admin/applications/update_status.php with SQL injection patterns in parameters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to the vulnerable endpoint

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the endpoint /ctpms/admin/applications/update_status.php?id=1' with SQL injection payloads and observe database errors

Check Version:

Check system documentation or configuration files for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with same payloads and verify proper error handling or rejection of malicious input

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL errors in application logs
  • Multiple failed parameter validation attempts
  • Requests to update_status.php with suspicious parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, etc.) in URL parameters
  • Unusual traffic patterns to admin endpoints

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/ctpms/admin/applications/update_status.php" AND (param="id" AND value MATCH "[';]|UNION|SELECT|--")
