🔧 Temporary Workarounds
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize parameters before processing
# PHP example: $room_id = filter_var($_GET['id'], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement database-level protections: use prepared statements, parameterized queries, and least privilege database accounts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the endpoint /hprms/classes/Master.php?f=delete_room with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after remediation - should return error or no data manipulation📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in application logs
- Multiple failed delete_room attempts
- SQL syntax errors in logs
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to Master.php endpoint
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/hprms/classes/Master.php" AND (query CONTAINS "delete_room" OR query CONTAINS SQL keywords)
