Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement workarounds or migrate to alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the uname parameter in update.php
Modify /dash/update.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the update.php endpoint
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL injection patterns to /dash/update.php
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disable or restrict access to /dash/update.php endpoint
- Implement network segmentation to isolate Fantasy-Cricket application from sensitive databases
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /dash/update.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the uname parameterCheck Version:
Check application version in configuration files or about pagesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that parameterized queries are implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
