🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to disclosure. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd parameterized queries and input validation to card.php to sanitize the 'id' parameter
Modify card.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM cards WHERE id = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('i', $id);
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the card.php endpoint
Add WAF rule: Block requests to card.php with SQL keywords in id parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input validation
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the vulnerable application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test card.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: card.php?id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads and verify no SQL errors or unexpected data returned📡 Detection & Monitoring
