🛠️ 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 Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the Consignment parameter before processing.
Modify /search-edit.php to validate Consignment parameter using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
Access Restriction
allRestrict access to vulnerable endpoint using web server configuration.
Add 'Deny from all' to .htaccess for /search-edit.php or equivalent in nginx/other servers.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules
- Isolate the system in a segmented network with strict access controls
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /search-edit.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in Consignment parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behavior.Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme files; system is version 1.0.Verify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, retest with SQL injection payloads to confirm they are properly blocked or sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Multiple rapid requests to /search-edit.php with suspicious parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /search-edit.php containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/search-edit.php" AND (param="Consignment" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(SELECT|UNION|INSERT|DELETE|DROP|OR|AND)")
