Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://phpgurukul.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Parameterized Queries
allImplement proper input validation and use parameterized queries for the viewid parameter
Modify /admin/view-incomingvehicle-detail.php to validate and sanitize the viewid parameter before database queries
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint
Add WAF rule: Block requests containing SQL injection patterns to /admin/view-incomingvehicle-detail.php
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to the vulnerable endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/view-incomingvehicle-detail.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the viewid parameterCheck Version:
Check the system version in the application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that input validation is properly implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
