🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the 'id' parameter in book_list.php
Modify book_list.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM books WHERE id = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('i', $_GET['id']);
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /book_list.php
ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:id "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi attempt detected'"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Network segmentation: Isolate the vulnerable system from sensitive networks and databases
- Access controls: Restrict access to /book_list.php via authentication or IP whitelisting
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /book_list.php?id=1' OR '1'='1 and observe if SQL errors or unexpected results appearCheck Version:
Check system documentation or about page for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test with SQL injection payloads and verify they are blocked or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
