🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the Username parameter in /process.php

Modify /process.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('s', $username);

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /process.php

Add WAF rule: Block requests to /process.php containing SQL keywords in Username 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 web server

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test /process.php with SQL injection payloads in Username parameter (e.g., admin' OR '1'='1)

Check Version:

Check system documentation or admin panel for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with same payloads after implementing parameterized queries - should return error or no data

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL syntax in Username field
  • Unusual database queries from web server IP

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /process.php containing SQL keywords
  • Abnormal response sizes from authentication endpoints

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/process.php" AND (username CONTAINS "'" OR username CONTAINS "OR" OR username CONTAINS "--")
