🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for updates 2. Apply any available patches 3. Test functionality after patching
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to only accept properly formatted date values
Add PHP validation: if(!preg_match('/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/', $_GET['date'])) { die('Invalid date format'); }
Parameterized Query Implementation
allReplace direct SQL concatenation with prepared statements
Replace: $sql = "SELECT * FROM reservations WHERE date = '" . $_GET['date'] . "'";
With: $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM reservations WHERE date = ?"); $stmt->execute([$_GET['date']]);
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules
- Restrict network access to only trusted IP addresses
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test index.php with SQL injection payloads in date parameter: index.php?date=' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads and verify they are rejected or properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in logs
- Multiple failed login attempts after date parameter manipulation
- Suspicious date parameter values containing SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL injection patterns in date parameter
- Unusual database query patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (date="*' OR*" OR date="*UNION*" OR date="*SELECT*" OR date="*--*" OR date="*;*" OR date="*/*")
