📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, remote code execution, or system takeover.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access, credential theft, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper input validation and WAF rules block malicious requests.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit code is publicly available on GitHub. Attack requires no authentication and uses simple SQL injection techniques.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in login requests.
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:Username "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side input validation to sanitize Username parameter before processing.
# PHP example: $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['Username']);
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only.
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to /ajax.php?action=login endpoint.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /ajax.php?action=login endpoint with SQL injection payloads in Username parameter (e.g., admin' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme files. Default installation is version 1.0.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts return error messages or are blocked without executing.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in Username parameter
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL characters
- Database error messages in application logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /ajax.php?action=login with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual traffic patterns to login endpoint
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/ajax.php" AND query="action=login" AND (Username="*'*" OR Username="*OR*" OR Username="*UNION*" OR Username="*SELECT*")
