CVE-2024-10417
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-10417 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Blood Bank Management System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'bid' parameter in /file/delete.php. This affects all organizations using this specific version of the software, potentially exposing sensitive blood bank data including donor information, inventory records, and patient data.
💻 Affected Systems
- Blood Bank Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise allowing data theft, data manipulation, or deletion of all blood bank records, potentially disrupting critical healthcare operations and exposing sensitive medical information.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive blood bank data including donor personal information, blood inventory records, and patient data, with potential for data exfiltration or manipulation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing information disclosure from accessible database tables.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit code is available in the GitHub gist reference. The vulnerability requires minimal technical skill to exploit due to straightforward SQL injection via URL parameter manipulation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch is available. Check the vendor website for updates. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as immediate mitigation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize the 'bid' parameter in /file/delete.php to only accept expected data types and ranges.
Modify /file/delete.php to validate bid parameter using PHP filter functions or regex patterns
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /file/delete.php endpoint.
Add WAF rule: block requests to /file/delete.php containing SQL keywords in bid parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the Blood Bank Management System from internet access and restrict network access to authorized users only.
- Implement database-level controls including minimal privilege accounts, query logging, and regular database activity monitoring.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /file/delete.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the bid parameter (e.g., /file/delete.php?bid=1' OR '1'='1). Monitor for database errors or unexpected responses.Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration files. The vulnerable version is specifically 1.0.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt the same SQL injection tests after implementing fixes. Verify that input validation rejects malicious payloads and parameterized queries prevent SQL execution.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual database queries originating from web server, SQL syntax errors in application logs, multiple failed delete operations with malformed bid parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /file/delete.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.) in URL parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/file/delete.php" AND (query_string="*UNION*" OR query_string="*SELECT*" OR query_string="*INSERT*")
