🛠️ 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 software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd parameter validation to only accept numeric IDs in the delete_application function
Modify /admin/ajax.php to validate ID parameter: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
WAF Rule
allImplement web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: Detect and block requests containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT with ID parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement database-level protections: use least privilege accounts, enable query logging
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the endpoint with SQL injection payloads: /admin/ajax.php?action=delete_application&ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no database interaction📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple delete_application requests with malformed IDs
- Database queries with unexpected UNION or SELECT statements
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin/ajax.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/ajax.php" AND (param="*UNION*" OR param="*SELECT*" OR param="*' OR '*")
