🔧 Temporary Workarounds
API Input Validation
allImplement strict input validation to reject requests with multiple userid parameters
Implement server-side validation: if count(userid_parameters) > 1 then reject_request()
Web Application Firewall Rule
allBlock requests containing multiple userid parameters in API payload
WAF rule: if request.body contains 'userid' count > 1 then block
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict API rate limiting and monitor for unusual parameter patterns
- Segment network access to Shilpi Client Dashboard and implement strict authentication controls
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test API endpoint with multiple userid parameters in request body using authenticated sessionCheck Version:
Check Shilpi Client Dashboard version in admin interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt exploitation after patch - requests with multiple userid parameters should be rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple userid parameters in single API request
- Unusual data access patterns from single user session
- Failed authorization attempts followed by successful data access
Network Indicators:
- API requests with duplicate parameter names in payload
- Unusual data volume from authenticated sessions
SIEM Query:
source="shilpi_logs" AND (request_body CONTAINS "userid" AND request_body COUNT("userid") > 1)
