CVE-2023-46582
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in Inventory Management v1.0 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in deleteProduct.php. Attackers could potentially read, modify, or delete database contents, affecting all users of this specific software version.
💻 Affected Systems
- Inventory Management
📦 What is this software?
Inventory Management by Code Projects
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, privilege escalation to system-level access, and potential lateral movement to other systems.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access, modification or deletion of inventory records, and potential extraction of sensitive information from the database.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing within the inventory context.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires local access to the application. SQL injection via id parameter is straightforward for attackers with basic SQL knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not available
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement workarounds or migrate to alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Parameterized Queries
allModify deleteProduct.php to validate and sanitize the id parameter using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
Replace vulnerable SQL query with: $stmt = $pdo->prepare('DELETE FROM products WHERE id = ?'); $stmt->execute([$id]);
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the deleteProduct.php endpoint.
ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:id "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt'"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the application to trusted users only
- Implement database user with minimal necessary permissions (read-only if possible)
- Monitor database logs for unusual delete operations or SQL errors
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test deleteProduct.php with malicious id parameter like: deleteProduct.php?id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or properly handled without database errors.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Unusual DELETE operations in database logs
- Multiple failed delete attempts with malformed parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to deleteProduct.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual traffic patterns to the inventory management interface
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/deleteProduct.php" AND (param_id CONTAINS "'" OR param_id CONTAINS "OR" OR param_id CONTAINS "--")🔗 References
