CVE-2024-9790
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter in the /admin/sou.php file in LyLme_spage 1.9.5. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content. Any system running the vulnerable version with the admin interface exposed is affected.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, or deletion; potential for privilege escalation or remote code execution if database permissions allow.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access and extraction from the database, potentially including user credentials, configuration data, or sensitive application information.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permission restrictions in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details have been publicly disclosed, making weaponization likely. The SQL injection appears straightforward to exploit.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd input validation to sanitize the 'id' parameter before processing in /admin/sou.php
Edit /admin/sou.php to add: $id = intval($_GET['id']); // Convert to integer
Access Restriction
allRestrict access to the /admin/ directory using web server configuration or authentication
For Apache: create .htaccess with: Order Deny,Allow\nDeny from all\nAllow from 192.168.1.0/24
For Nginx: location /admin/ { deny all; }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Immediately restrict network access to the admin interface using firewall rules or web server configuration
- Implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /admin/sou.php exists and accepts the 'id' parameter. Test with SQL injection payloads like: /admin/sou.php?id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the version in the application files or configuration; look for version indicators in source code or documentationVerify Fix Applied:
Test the same SQL injection payloads after applying fixes; they should return errors or no data instead of executing SQL commands📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in application logs
- Multiple requests to /admin/sou.php with suspicious 'id' parameters
- Database error messages containing SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- Unusual traffic patterns to /admin/sou.php
- Requests containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT in URL parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/sou.php" AND (query="*id=*'*" OR query="*id=*%27*")
