🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation for contactnumber Parameter

all

Add server-side validation to sanitize and validate the contactnumber parameter before SQL processing

Edit /admin/admin-profile.php to add: $contactnumber = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['contactnumber']);

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the contactnumber parameter

Add WAF rule: Block requests with SQL keywords in contactnumber parameter to /admin/admin-profile.php

🧯 If You Can't Patch

Restrict access to /admin/admin-profile.php using IP whitelisting or authentication requirements
Implement database user with minimal permissions (read-only if possible) for the application

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the contactnumber parameter in /admin/admin-profile.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check system documentation or about page for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with same SQL injection payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no database impact
