CVE-2022-31941
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2022-31941 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Rescue Dispatch Management System v1.0 that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter in the user management page. This affects all organizations using this specific software version. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database contents.

📦 What is this software?
Rescue Dispatch Management System by Rescue Dispatch Management System Project
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive user data, system configuration, and potential privilege escalation to administrative accounts.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permissions restricting damage to non-critical data.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authentication to access the admin panel, but SQL injection payloads are simple to craft once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries in the affected PHP files, specifically in the user management functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to restrict 'id' parameter to numeric values only.
Example PHP: if(!is_numeric($_GET['id'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
🧯 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 /rdms/admin?page=user/manage_user&id= with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages or are properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in URL parameters
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by SQL payloads
- Database error messages in application logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in the 'id' parameter
- Unusual database connection patterns
SIEM Query:
Example: source="web_logs" AND url="*manage_user*" AND (url="*UNION*" OR url="*SELECT*" OR url="*OR 1=1*")
