📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data exfiltration, data destruction, or full system takeover via subsequent attacks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database, potentially including personal information, medical records, or system credentials.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited or no impact if proper input validation, parameterized queries, and web application firewalls are implemented.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is exploitable remotely through a web interface without authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internal systems are vulnerable to authenticated or unauthenticated attackers within the network.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-cigesv2-system

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Review vendor advisory for patch details. 2. Apply the official patch from the vendor. 3. Restart the CIGESv2 application/service. 4. Verify the fix is working.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests.

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement server-side input validation to reject malicious 'idServicio' parameter values.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate CIGESv2 systems from untrusted networks
  • Deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection detection rules

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /ajaxServiciosAtencion.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'idServicio' parameter.

Check Version:

Check CIGESv2 documentation or system interface for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Retest with SQL injection payloads after patching to confirm they are rejected or properly handled.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple rapid requests to /ajaxServiciosAtencion.php with suspicious parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in the 'idServicio' parameter

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND url="/ajaxServiciosAtencion.php" AND (param="*SELECT*" OR param="*UNION*" OR param="*OR*1=1*")
