CVE-2023-27742

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

IDURAR ERP/CRM v1 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the login API endpoint that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This affects all organizations using IDURAR ERP/CRM v1. Attackers can potentially bypass authentication, access sensitive data, or compromise the entire database.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • IDURAR ERP/CRM
Versions: v1
Operating Systems: All
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the default installation of IDURAR ERP/CRM v1 via the /api/login endpoint.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution on the underlying server.

🟠

Likely Case

Authentication bypass allowing unauthorized access to the ERP/CRM system, data exfiltration of sensitive business information, and potential lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and web application firewall rules blocking SQL injection patterns.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

The login endpoint is typically accessible without authentication, making exploitation straightforward. Public proof-of-concept code is available.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check for official patches from IDURAR
2. If no patch available, implement workarounds
3. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /api/login endpoint

# Example ModSecurity rule:
SecRule REQUEST_URI "@streq /api/login" \
    "chain,id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi attempt on login API'"
SecRule ARGS "@detectSQLi"

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation middleware to sanitize login parameters

# Example PHP filter for login parameters:
function sanitizeLoginInput($input) {
    $input = trim($input);
    $input = stripslashes($input);
    $input = htmlspecialchars($input, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    return $input;
}

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the IDURAR system in a separate network segment with strict access controls
  • Implement rate limiting and monitoring on the /api/login endpoint to detect exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /api/login endpoint with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in username or password fields and observe if authentication bypass occurs

Check Version:

Check the application version in the admin panel or via application metadata files

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt the same SQL injection tests and verify they are rejected or properly sanitized without allowing authentication bypass

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL syntax in login attempts
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL keywords
  • Successful logins from unexpected IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /api/login containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.)
  • Abnormal response patterns from login endpoint

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/api/login" AND (request_body LIKE "%UNION%" OR request_body LIKE "%SELECT%" OR request_body LIKE "%INSERT%")
