Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize the 'url' parameter before processing.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint (/app/ax/generateShortURL/)
- Implement strict database user permissions with least privilege principle
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: https://[target]/app/ax/generateShortURL/?url=' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check SportsNET configuration files or admin panel for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages or are properly sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple requests to generateShortURL with suspicious parameters
- Error messages containing SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /app/ax/generateShortURL/ with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/app/ax/generateShortURL/" AND (param="url" AND value CONTAINS "' OR" OR value CONTAINS "UNION" OR value CONTAINS "SELECT" OR value CONTAINS "--")
