Modify index.php to validate email format and escape special characters
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF with SQL injection protection rules
Configure WAF to block SQL injection patterns in email 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
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test email parameter in index.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no data📡 Detection & Monitoring
