🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the login endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the username parameterCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return appropriate error responses📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in username fields
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL keywords
- Database error messages in application logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /?action=processlogin containing SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (uri="/?action=processlogin" AND (username CONTAINS "' OR" OR username CONTAINS "UNION" OR username CONTAINS "SELECT"))
