Online Shoe Store by Code Projects
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data extraction including user credentials, personal information, and order details, followed by potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit code is available on GitHub gist, making exploitation trivial for attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to a secure e-commerce platform or implementing manual fixes with parameterized queries and input validation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to ensure the 'id' parameter contains only numeric values before processing.
Modify /details.php to include: if(!is_numeric($_GET['id'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the application behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering and rate limiting
- Implement network segmentation to restrict database access from the web server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by accessing /details.php?id=1' OR '1'='1 and observing if SQL errors appear or unexpected data is returned.Check Version:
Check the application's version in its documentation, configuration files, or by examining the source code structure.Verify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, test with the same payloads to ensure proper error handling and no SQL execution.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
- Multiple requests to /details.php with SQL-like payloads in parameters
- High volume of requests to the same endpoint with varying id parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in the id parameter
- Unusual database query patterns from the web server IP
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/details.php" AND (query="*SELECT*" OR query="*UNION*" OR query="*OR '1'='1*")
