🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if admin/admin-profile.php exists and version is 1.13. Test contactnumber parameter with SQL injection payloads.Check Version:
Check version in system configuration files or database settingsVerify Fix Applied:
Verify input validation is implemented and parameterized queries are used. Test with SQL injection attempts.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts to admin interface
- Unexpected contactnumber parameter values in web logs
Network Indicators:
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP POST requests to admin/admin-profile.php
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/admin-profile.php" AND (contactnumber CONTAINS "' OR" OR contactnumber CONTAINS "UNION" OR contactnumber CONTAINS "SELECT")
