🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /setting/employee_salary_setup.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in ddlEmpName parameter.Check Version:
Check system version in admin panel or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that prepared statements are implemented.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts or parameter manipulation in access logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /setting/employee_salary_setup.php with SQL keywords in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/setting/employee_salary_setup.php" AND (param="ddlEmpName" AND value CONTAINS "UNION" OR "SELECT" OR "INSERT" OR "DELETE")
