🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown - product does not use versioning
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check if you're using bootplus. 2. Review the GitHub issue for potential fixes. 3. Consider migrating to maintained alternatives as this appears to be an unmaintained project.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement strict input validation for the 'sort' parameter to only allow expected values
WAF Rule
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in the sort parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the admin interface using firewall rules
- Implement database user with minimal privileges for the application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your system uses bootplus and examine the /admin/sys/role/list endpoint code for SQL injection vulnerabilities in the sort parameter handling.Check Version:
No version command available - check git commit history or source code for the vulnerable commitVerify Fix Applied:
Test the /admin/sys/role/list endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the sort parameter to ensure they are properly sanitized or rejected.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- HTTP requests to /admin/sys/role/list with suspicious sort parameters
- Database error messages in application logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST/GET requests containing SQL keywords in sort parameter
- Unusual database connection patterns from application server
SIEM Query:
http.url:"/admin/sys/role/list" AND (http.param.sort:CONTAINS "UNION" OR http.param.sort:CONTAINS "SELECT" OR http.param.sort:CONTAINS "INSERT" OR http.param.sort:CONTAINS "DELETE")
