🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if file /dashboard/admin/change_s_pwd.php exists and contains unsanitized login_id parameter usage

Check Version:

Check software version in system configuration or about page

Verify Fix Applied:

Test SQL injection attempts against the login_id parameter to confirm they are blocked

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in database logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL injection patterns
  • Access to change_s_pwd.php with suspicious parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /dashboard/admin/change_s_pwd.php containing SQL keywords in parameters

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/dashboard/admin/change_s_pwd.php" AND (param="login_id" AND value MATCH "'.*[UNION|SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE|DROP].*')"
