🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test pass parameter with SQL injection payloads (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) and observe database responsesCheck Version:
Check Gescen version through application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Retest with SQL injection payloads; successful fix should return error or no data exposure📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords in pass parameter
- Abnormal database query patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (pass="*OR*" OR pass="*UNION*" OR pass="*SELECT*" OR pass="*--*")
