🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown - check vendor for updates
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for patched version. 2. Replace vulnerable Database.java file. 3. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements. 4. Validate all user inputs.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to reject suspicious characters in roll, name, and GPA parameters
Implement regex validation: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.-]+$ for names, ^[0-9]+$ for roll numbers, ^[0-9.]+$ for GPA
Web Application Firewall
allDeploy WAF with SQL injection protection rules
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the application behind a reverse proxy with SQL injection filtering
- Implement strict database user permissions with least privilege access
