- Implement web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rules
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /admin/delete_bloodGroup.php exists and accepts blood_id parameter without proper sanitizationCheck Version:
Check software documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test SQL injection attempts against the blood_id parameter to confirm they are blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
