Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries in /setting/year_setup.php.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Add input validation and sanitization for the txtXYear parameter in year_setup.php

Edit /setting/year_setup.php to validate txtXYear input using PHP filter functions or regex patterns

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts

Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL keywords targeting /setting/year_setup.php

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if /setting/year_setup.php exists and accepts txtXYear parameter without proper validation

Check Version:

Check system documentation or configuration files for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test the txtXYear parameter with SQL injection payloads to ensure they are blocked or sanitized

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual database queries from web server
  • Multiple failed SQL syntax attempts
  • Access to /setting/year_setup.php with suspicious parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /setting/year_setup.php containing SQL keywords in parameters
  • Unusual database traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/setting/year_setup.php" AND (param="txtXYear" AND value CONTAINS "UNION" OR value CONTAINS "SELECT" OR value CONTAINS "INSERT")
