Task Manager by Code Projects
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution on the database server.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive task data, user information extraction, and potential authentication bypass.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.
🎯 Exploit Status
Simple SQL injection with publicly available proof-of-concept in GitHub repository.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries and input validation in EditProject.php.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious requests
Input Validation
allAdd server-side validation to ensure projectID contains only numeric values
In EditProject.php, add: if(!is_numeric($_GET['projectID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the Task Manager App behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the application server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test with payload: /TaskManager/EditProject.php?projectID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payload and verify proper error handling or rejection📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Unusual database queries from application user
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to EditProject.php with SQL keywords in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/TaskManager/EditProject.php" AND (query="*' OR*" OR query="*UNION*" OR query="*SELECT*" OR query="*INSERT*")
