🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to supported software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Add server-side validation to ensure schedule_id contains only expected characters (e.g., digits)

Modify /schedule_edit1.php to validate schedule_id parameter before processing

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting schedule_id parameter

Configure WAF to detect and block SQL injection patterns in POST/GET parameters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable system from critical databases
  • Implement strict access controls and monitoring for the /schedule_edit1.php endpoint

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test /schedule_edit1.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in schedule_id parameter

Check Version:

Check system documentation or web interface footer for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and return appropriate error messages

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
  • Multiple requests to /schedule_edit1.php with suspicious parameters

Network Indicators:

  • SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to /schedule_edit1.php

SIEM Query:

source="web_server.log" AND uri="/schedule_edit1.php" AND (param="schedule_id" AND value MATCHES "[';]|UNION|SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE")
