📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution if database permissions allow.
Likely Case
Unauthorized database access leading to theft of sensitive donation records, user credentials, and potential authentication bypass.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permission restrictions in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries and input validation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious requests to /login.php
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side input validation to reject SQL special characters in Username field
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
- Implement network segmentation to limit database server access
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /login.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in Username field and observe database errors or unexpected behavior
Check Version:
Check software documentation or file headers for version information
Verify Fix Applied:
Test with same SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected or properly sanitized without database errors
📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL special characters
- Unusual database queries from web server
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /login.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, OR
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/login.php" AND (request CONTAINS "UNION" OR request CONTAINS "SELECT" OR request CONTAINS "OR '1'='1")
