Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to only accept numeric values for the ID parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict internal network access
- Implement database user with minimal privileges and enable database logging
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /empproject.php with SQL injection payloads in the ID parameter (e.g., ID=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check system documentation or about page for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and return appropriate error messages or are blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
