🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative inventory management software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Add parameter validation and sanitization for the 'serial' parameter in product_add.php

Edit /pages/product_add.php to add input validation using prepared statements or parameterized queries

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the product_add.php endpoint

Add WAF rule: Block requests to /pages/product_add.php containing SQL keywords in parameters

🧯 If You Can't Patch

Isolate the system behind a firewall and restrict access to trusted IP addresses only
Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web application server

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the /pages/product_add.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'serial' parameter

Check Version:

Check the software version in the application interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
Unexpected database queries from web application user

Network Indicators:

HTTP POST requests to /pages/product_add.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DROP

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/pages/product_add.php" AND (payload CONTAINS "UNION" OR payload CONTAINS "SELECT" OR payload CONTAINS "DROP")
