🛠️ 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 workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement parameterized queries or proper input validation for the trcode parameter
Modify /members/Tithes.php to use prepared statements with parameter binding
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the trcode parameter
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL keywords in trcode parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input validation
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /members/Tithes.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the trcode parameterCheck Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and return appropriate error messages📡 Detection & Monitoring
