📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, and potential server takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive user data (personal information, credentials), manipulation of order/review data, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or minor data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. SQL injection vulnerabilities are commonly weaponized due to their simplicity and impact.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing parameterized queries or input validation as described in workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Implement Input Validation
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize and validate the fname parameter before processing.
Edit /pages/signup_function.php to add validation: if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/', $_POST['fname'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Use Parameterized Queries
allReplace direct SQL concatenation with prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.
Replace $sql = "INSERT INTO users (fname) VALUES ('" . $_POST['fname'] . "')"; with prepared statements using PDO or mysqli.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disable or restrict access to /pages/signup_function.php via web server configuration or firewall rules.
- Implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the signup functionality by submitting SQL injection payloads in the fname field (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) and observe if database errors or unexpected behavior occurs.Check Version:
Check the software version in documentation or configuration files; this vulnerability is specific to version 1.0.Verify Fix Applied:
After applying workarounds, retest with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are properly rejected or sanitized without database errors.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs, multiple failed signup attempts with special characters in fname field.
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /pages/signup_function.php containing SQL keywords or special characters in parameters.
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/pages/signup_function.php" AND (request_body CONTAINS "' OR" OR request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "SELECT")
