Check the WeGIA admin panel or examine the application's version file if available.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify the application version is 3.4.1 or higher and test the /controle/relatorio_geracao.php endpoint with SQL injection test payloads.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple requests to /controle/relatorio_geracao.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual delay patterns in response times indicating time-based SQL injection attempts
Network Indicators:
- SQL syntax in HTTP GET parameters
- Repeated requests with SLEEP() or WAITFOR DELAY patterns
SIEM Query:
