🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement strict input validation to reject SQL special characters in user inputs

Web Application Firewall

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection protection rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate UNIS from sensitive systems
  • Enable detailed SQL query logging and monitor for suspicious patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check UNIS version in administration interface or configuration files - if version is lower than 42321, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check UNIS web interface or configuration files for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm version is 42321 or higher and test SQL injection attempts are properly blocked.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL query patterns
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL syntax
  • Database error messages containing user input

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, DROP, etc.)
  • Abnormal database connection patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND ("SELECT" OR "UNION" OR "DROP" OR "INSERT" OR "UPDATE") AND status=200
