Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side input validation to sanitize login form inputs before processing SQL queries.
Modify login.php to escape special characters using mysqli_real_escape_string() or prepared statements
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns in login requests.
Add ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Immediately restrict access to the admin login page using IP whitelisting or network segmentation.

🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Attempt SQL injection via login form with payload: ' or '1'='1. If login succeeds without valid credentials, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check CMS version in admin panel or review /includes/version.php file content.Verify Fix Applied:
Test the same SQL injection payload after applying fixes. Login should fail with invalid credentials.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns like 'or'1'='1
- Successful admin logins from unusual IP addresses
- POST requests to login.php containing SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to admin login endpoints
- SQL error messages in HTTP responses
SIEM Query:
source="web.log" AND (uri_path="/admin/login.php" OR uri_path="/login.php") AND (http_method="POST") AND (request_body MATCHES "(?i).*or.*1.*=.*1.*")
