📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including exfiltration of sensitive data, administrative account takeover, and potential system-level access through database functions.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to user data, modification of inventory records, and potential privilege escalation to administrative accounts.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit requires authentication to the admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative inventory management software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the ID parameter before processing
Modify /admin/user/index.php to add: $id = intval($_GET['ID']);
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:ID "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement database-level permissions to limit the impact of SQL injection
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/user/index.php?view=edit endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the software version in the admin dashboard or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer produce database errors or unexpected results📡 Detection & Monitoring
