📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permissions restricting dangerous operations.
🎯 Exploit Status
The exploit is publicly available and SQL injection vulnerabilities are typically easy to weaponize. The vulnerability requires no authentication.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing parameterized queries in supplier.php or replacing the vulnerable code with proper input validation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests targeting the supplier parameter.
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the supplier parameter before processing.
// Example PHP code to add to supplier.php
$supplier = filter_var($_GET['supplier'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
// Or use prepared statements with PDO/mysqli
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from the internet and restrict access to trusted networks only.
- Implement strict database permissions, limiting the application database user to only necessary operations.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /cakeshop/supplier.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the supplier parameter (e.g., supplier=1' OR '1'='1). Monitor for database errors or unexpected responses.Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration files. The vulnerable version is 1.0.Verify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, retest with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are properly blocked or sanitized without causing errors.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple requests to /cakeshop/supplier.php with suspicious parameters
- Database query logs showing unexpected SQL commands
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in the supplier parameter
- Unusual traffic patterns to the supplier.php endpoint
SIEM Query:
source="web_server_logs" AND uri="/cakeshop/supplier.php" AND (param="supplier" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|or|and|'|--|#)")
