🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Check vendor website for updates. Consider implementing parameterized queries and input validation in /members/giving.php.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds

allAdd server-side validation to ensure Amount parameter contains only numeric values
Edit /members/giving.php to add: if(!is_numeric($_POST['Amount'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: Detect and block SQL injection patterns in POST parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to /members/giving.php using IP whitelisting or authentication
- Implement database user with minimal permissions (read-only if possible)
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /members/giving.php with SQL injection payloads like: Amount=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application files or documentation for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test with same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or sanitized response📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
