🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to a supported alternative or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd strict input validation for prefSeat_id parameter to only accept expected values
Modify list_tickets.php to validate prefSeat_id as integer using is_numeric() or filter_var()
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting prefSeat_id parameter
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL keywords in prefSeat_id parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test list_tickets.php with SQL injection payloads in prefSeat_id parameter (e.g., prefSeat_id=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no data instead of executing SQL📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts after SQL injection
- Database queries with unusual patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to list_tickets.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="*list_tickets.php*" AND (param="*prefSeat_id*" AND value="*OR*" OR value="*UNION*" OR value="*SELECT*" OR value="*'*" OR value="*--*" OR value="*;*")
