Web Application Firewall
allDeploy WAF with SQL injection rules
Configure WAF to block SQL injection patterns targeting f_name parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts

Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /Users/registration.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the f_name parameterCheck Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that prepared statements are implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed registration attempts with SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to registration.php containing SQL keywords in parameters
