🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement strict input validation for all parameters passed to the indexAction method
Modify reimpAction.php to sanitize all user inputs before SQL processing
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting reimpAction.php
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL keywords to the vulnerable endpoint
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate Rockoa from critical systems
- Deploy database monitoring to detect unusual SQL queries and access patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if Rockoa version is below 2.3.3 and examine reimpAction.php for unsanitized input in indexAction methodCheck Version:
Check Rockoa configuration files or admin panel for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify Rockoa version is 2.3.3 or higher and test SQL injection attempts against the vulnerable endpoint📡 Detection & Monitoring
