🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit if system is network-accessible

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Exploit requires access to password change functionality; public proof-of-concept available

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing custom fixes.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement parameterized queries and input validation for the ChangePassword.java file

Modify ChangePassword.java to use PreparedStatement instead of concatenated SQL

Web Application Firewall

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious requests

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
  • Implement database-level protections: minimal privileges, query logging, and regular audits

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if Medical Store Management System version 1.0 is installed and review ChangePassword.java for SQL concatenation

Check Version:

Check application documentation or configuration files for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test password change functionality with SQL injection payloads; verify parameterized queries are used

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in database logs
  • Multiple failed password change attempts
  • SQL syntax errors in application logs

Network Indicators:

  • POST requests to password change endpoint with SQL keywords
  • Unusual database connection patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (url_path="/changepassword" OR url_path LIKE "%ChangePassword%") AND (request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "SELECT" OR request_body CONTAINS "INSERT")
