✅ 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 and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to ensure ID parameter contains only expected characters (numbers).
// PHP example: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /edit.php endpoint.

- Restrict network access to the system using firewall rules to only trusted IP addresses.
- Disable or remove the /edit.php file if functionality is not required.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /edit.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: /edit.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no data leakage.📡 Detection & Monitoring
