🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /register.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the ruser_email parameterCheck Version:
Check the software version in the application files or documentationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that parameterized queries are implemented and SQL injection attempts are properly rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in ruser_email parameter
- Multiple failed registration attempts with SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /register.php containing SQL injection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/register.php" AND (ruser_email CONTAINS "UNION" OR ruser_email CONTAINS "SELECT" OR ruser_email CONTAINS "--")
