Unauthorized access to user credentials, personal information, and order data; potential for session hijacking or account takeover.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing successful exploitation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects web applications typically exposed to the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal applications could still be targeted by insider threats or compromised internal systems.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available in the GitHub gist reference. SQL injection via password parameter requires minimal technical skill.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Manually fix the vulnerability by implementing parameterized queries in login.php.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement Input Validation and Parameterized Queries

PHP

Modify login.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of concatenating user input into SQL statements.

Replace vulnerable SQL queries with PDO or mysqli prepared statements

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the login.php endpoint.

Configure WAF to detect and block SQL injection attempts on /function/login.php

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the vulnerable system behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
  • Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Review login.php source code for SQL queries that concatenate the password parameter without proper sanitization.

Check Version:

Check file metadata or project documentation for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test login functionality with SQL injection payloads; successful login should fail with proper error handling.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL syntax in password field
  • Database query errors from login.php

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /function/login.php containing SQL keywords in parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/function/login.php" AND (password CONTAINS "' OR" OR password CONTAINS "UNION" OR password CONTAINS "SELECT")
