🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement proper input validation and parameterized queries for the email parameter in page-login.php
Modify /user/page-login.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('s', $email);
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns in login requests
Add WAF rule: Detect and block requests containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, etc.) in email 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 application server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the login page with SQL injection payloads in the email parameter: ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and that prepared statements are implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL keywords in email field
- Unusual database queries from application user
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /user/page-login.php containing SQL injection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/user/page-login.php" AND (email="*UNION*" OR email="*SELECT*" OR email="*OR*1=1*")
