- Implement database user with minimal privileges (SELECT only) for the application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /panel/edit-appointment.php exists and accepts editid parameter without proper validation. Test with SQL injection payloads like editid=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application files or documentation for version information. Look for version.txt or similar files.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and that input validation rejects non-numeric editid values📡 Detection & Monitoring
