- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules
- Restrict network access to the application to trusted IPs only
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /admin/deletemanager.php exists and accepts managername parameter without proper input validationCheck Version:
Check application files or documentation for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test SQL injection attempts against the parameter to ensure they are blocked or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
