Notes: Vulnerability exists in the sort_bloques parameter of the application endpoint.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including exfiltration of all sensitive data, destruction of database contents, and potential privilege escalation to underlying systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Data theft of user information, configuration data, and potentially authentication credentials stored in the database.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permission restrictions in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

SQL injection vulnerabilities are commonly exploited and require minimal technical skill when unauthenticated.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

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

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

Check vendor advisory for patch availability. If unavailable, implement workarounds immediately.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the sort_bloques parameter

Input Validation Filter

all

Add server-side validation to reject suspicious characters in the sort_bloques parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the SportsNET application behind a reverse proxy with strict input validation
  • Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the application server

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /app/ax/sort_bloques/ endpoint with SQL injection payloads and monitor for unexpected database responses

Check Version:

Check SportsNET configuration or admin panel for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Retest with SQL injection payloads after implementing fixes and confirm no database manipulation occurs

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in database logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts from single IP
  • Unexpected parameter values in web server logs

Network Indicators:

  • SQL syntax in HTTP POST/GET parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="*sort_bloques*" AND (param="*' OR *" OR param="*;--*" OR param="*UNION*"))
