📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution via database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to reservation data, personal information disclosure, and potential privilege escalation within the application.

🟢

If Mitigated

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

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit requires admin access to /orrs/admin/reservations/view_details.php endpoint, but SQL injection could enable privilege escalation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries in /orrs/admin/reservations/view_details.php to sanitize the id parameter.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

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

Input Validation Filter

all

Add server-side validation to ensure id parameter contains only numeric values before processing.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict access to /orrs/admin/ directory to trusted IP addresses only
  • Disable or remove the vulnerable view_details.php file if not required

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /orrs/admin/reservations/view_details.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in the id parameter.

Check Version:

Check application version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify 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
  • Access to view_details.php with non-numeric id values

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /orrs/admin/reservations/view_details.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.)

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND url="*view_details.php*" AND (url="*UNION*" OR url="*SELECT*" OR url="*OR '1'='1*")
