🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries in the source code.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests to /add_drive.php
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize the drive_title parameter before processing
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Block external access to /add_drive.php endpoint using firewall rules or web server configuration
- Implement database user with minimal privileges to limit potential damage from SQL injection
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /add_drive.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the drive_title parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behavior.Check Version:
Check the software version in the system configuration or about page.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that input validation is properly implemented.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in drive_title parameter
- Database error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed requests to /add_drive.php
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /add_drive.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/add_drive.php" AND (request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "SELECT" OR request_body CONTAINS "INSERT")
