🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://phpgurukul.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as workaround.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds

- Implement database user with minimal required permissions
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /edit-property.php with SQL injection payloads in editid parameter (e.g., editid=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test that SQL injection payloads no longer work and return appropriate error messages📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual database queries from web server
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Multiple failed edit-property.php requests
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /edit-property.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database traffic patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/edit-property.php" AND (param="editid" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|--|#|;)")
