📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, or remote code execution if database functions allow command execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access, data modification, or authentication bypass leading to privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting query execution.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection via POST parameter is straightforward to exploit with common tools like sqlmap.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement workarounds or replace with secure software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize the 'name' parameter before processing.
Edit /bpms/index.php to add: $name = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['name']);
Web Application Firewall Rule
allBlock SQL injection patterns in POST requests to /bpms/index.php.
ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS_POST:name "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system on a separate network segment with strict access controls.
- Implement database-level protections: use least privilege accounts, enable query logging, and restrict database functions.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test with sqlmap: sqlmap -u "http://target/bpms/index.php" --data="name=test" --dbsCheck Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Re-run sqlmap test; successful fix should show no SQL injection vulnerabilities.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts from single IP
- POST requests to /bpms/index.php with SQL keywords in parameters
Network Indicators:
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
- HTTP POST requests containing SQL syntax
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/bpms/index.php" AND (POST_param="name" AND POST_value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|delete|update|drop|--|#|/*)")
