ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:ID "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi attempt detected'"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to the RemoteClinic application to authorized users only.
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring of all database queries and access to /staff/profile.php for anomaly detection.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /staff/profile.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: /staff/profile.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the RemoteClinic admin panel or configuration files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt the same SQL injection tests after patching; they should return error messages or fail without database interaction.📡 Detection & Monitoring
