🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test register.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in fname parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behaviorCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or sanitized without database errors📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Unusual database queries from web server IP
- Multiple failed registration attempts with special characters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to register.php containing SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual traffic patterns to registration endpoint
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/register.php" AND (payload CONTAINS "UNION" OR payload CONTAINS "SELECT" OR payload CONTAINS "INSERT" OR payload CONTAINS "DELETE")
