📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution via database functions.
Likely Case
Database information disclosure, user credential theft, and potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or partial data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None known
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to a supported alternative or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement proper input validation and parameterized queries in /admin/user_save.php
Edit /admin/user_save.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of direct string concatenation
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the affected system from the internet and restrict access to trusted networks only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/user_save.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the Name parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with the same payloads after implementing parameterized queries - should return error or no data leakage📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts from admin interface
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database connection patterns
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to /admin/user_save.php
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/user_save.php" AND (payload="' OR" OR payload="UNION" OR payload="SELECT" OR payload="--")
