Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, or full system takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive payroll data including employee information, salaries, and financial records
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and WAF rules blocking SQL injection patterns
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily weaponizable
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative payroll software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation for the ID parameter in ajax.php
Modify ajax.php to validate ID parameter as integer: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:ID "@rx (?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|create|alter|exec)" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt'"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the payroll system in a separate network segment with strict access controls
- Implement database monitoring and alerting for unusual SQL queries
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /ajax.php?action=save_payroll endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check system documentation or about page for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads and verify they are rejected or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
