2. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements
3. Add input validation for the tprice parameter
4. Sanitize all user inputs before database interaction
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allBlock SQL injection patterns in POST requests to edit-ticket.php
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to only accept numeric values for tprice parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement network segmentation to limit database server access
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending a POST request to edit-ticket.php with tprice parameter containing SQL injection payload like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check system documentation or about page for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and input validation rejects non-numeric tprice values📡 Detection & Monitoring
