📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential server takeover via SQL injection to RCE chaining.
Likely Case
Unauthorized database access leading to sensitive data exposure (customer information, shipment details, credentials) and potential data manipulation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and WAF rules blocking SQL injection patterns.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily weaponizable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement server-side input validation and parameterized queries for the reciver_name parameter
Modify /Add_reciver.php to use prepared statements with parameter binding
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the reciver_name parameter
Add WAF rule: Block requests containing SQL keywords in reciver_name parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the application server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /Add_reciver.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in reciver_name parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behavior.Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection after implementing fixes and verify no database errors or unauthorized access occurs.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Unusual database queries from application server
- Multiple failed parameter validation attempts
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /Add_reciver.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.) in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/Add_reciver.php" AND (param="reciver_name" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|delete|drop|--|#|;)")
