🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection rules to block attack attempts

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement application-level input validation to reject SQL special characters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the SSO system behind firewall with strict access controls
  • Implement network segmentation to limit database access from SSO application

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check SSO version in admin panel or configuration files. If version is 1.0.x and less than 1.1, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check application configuration files or admin dashboard for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm version is 1.1 or higher in admin interface and test SQL injection attempts are blocked.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL syntax
  • Unexpected database queries from SSO application

Network Indicators:

  • SQL keywords in HTTP POST/GET parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from SSO server

SIEM Query:

source="sso_logs" AND ("SQL syntax" OR "unclosed quotation" OR "SELECT * FROM")
