📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including theft of sensitive customer data (personal information, payment details), system takeover, and potential lateral movement to other systems.
Likely Case
Data exfiltration of salon business data, customer information, and potential injection of malicious content into the database.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and network segmentation preventing database access.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit code is available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.sourcecodester.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative salon management software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the ID parameter in stock.php
Modify /panel/stock.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM stock WHERE id = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('i', $id);
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /panel/stock.php
Add WAF rule: deny requests to /panel/stock.php with SQL keywords in parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system on a segmented network with no internet access
- Implement strict network access controls allowing only trusted IPs to access the management panel
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test if /panel/stock.php accepts SQL injection payloads in the ID parameter (e.g., stock.php?id=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check the software version in the admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test the same SQL injection payloads after implementing parameterized queries to confirm they no longer work📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by stock.php access
- Requests to stock.php with SQL keywords in parameters
Network Indicators:
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
- Traffic patterns showing SQL injection payloads
SIEM Query:
source=web_logs AND uri_path="/panel/stock.php" AND (param="id" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|--|#|/*)")🔗 References
