Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /php_action/editBrand.php exists and accepts editBrandStatus parameter without proper input validationCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test the editBrand.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are properly rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns
- Unexpected database schema changes
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /php_action/editBrand.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/php_action/editBrand.php" AND (param="editBrandStatus" AND value CONTAINS "UNION" OR value CONTAINS "SELECT" OR value CONTAINS "INSERT" OR value CONTAINS "DELETE")
