📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data destruction, and potential remote code execution via database functions.
Likely Case
Data exfiltration, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and database manipulation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or partial data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit available on GitHub. SQL injection via ID parameter manipulation is straightforward for attackers.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to a different CMS or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd parameterized queries or input validation to /pages.php to sanitize the ID parameter.
Edit /pages.php to implement prepared statements with parameterized queries
Web Application Firewall Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /pages.php endpoint.
Add WAF rule: Block requests to /pages.php with SQL injection patterns in parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the CMS instance 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 /pages.php with SQL injection payloads in the ID parameter (e.g., pages.php?id=1' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check CMS version in configuration files or admin panelVerify Fix Applied:
Test with the same payloads and verify no SQL errors or unexpected behavior occurs📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in web server logs
- Multiple requests to /pages.php with special characters in ID parameter
- Database error messages containing SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /pages.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database traffic patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/pages.php" AND (param="id" AND value MATCH "[';]|UNION|SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE|DROP|OR 1=1")
