Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/getmanagerregion.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'city' parameterCheck Version:
Check system documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and return appropriate error messages📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
- Multiple requests to /admin/getmanagerregion.php with suspicious 'city' parameter values
Network Indicators:
