- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the upid parameter in /view-user-detail.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return proper error handling📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts after SQL injection
- Unexpected database schema changes
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in upid parameter
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (upid="*' OR*" OR upid="*UNION*" OR upid="*SELECT*" OR upid="*--*" OR upid="*;*" OR upid="*/*")
