🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Remove or restrict access to /add_patient.php via web server configuration
- Implement network segmentation to isolate the system from untrusted networks
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /add_patient.php with SQL injection payloads in itr_no parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behaviorCheck Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads and verify proper error handling or rejection of malicious input📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in web logs
- Unusual database queries from web application
- Multiple failed parameter validation attempts
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /add_patient.php with SQL keywords in parameters
