🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for updates
2. If no patch available, implement workarounds
3. Consider replacing with alternative software
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to ensure room_id parameter contains only numeric values
Modify /add_query_reserve.php to validate room_id parameter before processing
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: deny requests with SQL keywords in room_id parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Remove or restrict access to /add_query_reserve.php file
- Implement network segmentation to isolate the reservation system from critical databases
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /add_query_reserve.php with SQL injection payloads in room_id parameter (e.g., room_id=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads and verify no SQL errors or unexpected behavior occurs📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
