Use Parameterized Queries
allModify application code to use prepared statements with parameterized queries
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate affected systems from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules
- Apply principle of least privilege to database user accounts
- Enable detailed SQL query logging for anomaly detection
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Docebo version in admin panel or configuration files; if version is 4.0.5 or lower, system is vulnerableCheck Version:
Check Docebo configuration files or admin interface for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test SQL injection payloads against application endpoints; successful exploitation indicates vulnerability remains📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL-like patterns
- Unexpected database query patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.)
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND ("SELECT" OR "UNION" OR "' OR '1'='1") AND status=200🔗 References
