🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not available
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd proper input validation and parameterized queries to the getDocuments function in InstituicaoDocumentacaoController
Modify the PHP code to use prepared statements with PDO or mysqli
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint
Add WAF rule: Block requests containing SQL keywords to /module/Api/InstituicaoDocumentacao
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the i-Educar application using firewall rules to only allow trusted IP addresses
- Implement rate limiting and monitoring on the vulnerable endpoint to detect exploitation attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the endpoint with SQL injection payloads: /module/Api/InstituicaoDocumentacao?oper=get&resource=getDocuments&instituicao_id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the i-Educar version in the application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test the same endpoint with SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple requests to the vulnerable endpoint with SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /module/Api/InstituicaoDocumentacao containing SQL injection patterns
