📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the voting system database including voter data, admin credentials, and election results; potential for data destruction or manipulation of election outcomes.
Likely Case
Authentication bypass leading to unauthorized admin access, extraction of sensitive voter information, and potential for further system compromise.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper input validation and WAF rules are in place, though SQL injection attempts may still be logged.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub; SQL injection in login forms is a common attack vector.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/
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 parameterized queries or prepared statements to the login.php file to prevent SQL injection.
Modify /admin/login.php to use prepared statements with PDO or mysqli
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the login endpoint.
Add WAF rule: Block requests with SQL keywords in Username parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the voting system behind a VPN or restrict access to trusted IP addresses only.
- Implement rate limiting and monitoring on the /admin/login.php endpoint to detect brute force or injection attempts.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the login form with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in the Username field and observe if authentication is bypassed.Check Version:
Check the software version in the admin panel or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
After applying fixes, retest with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are blocked or sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL-like patterns in Username field
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /admin/login.php containing SQL keywords (e.g., UNION, SELECT, OR)
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/login.php" AND (payload CONTAINS "OR" OR payload CONTAINS "UNION" OR payload CONTAINS "SELECT")
