🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /intern/admin/edit_admin.php exists and test with SQL injection payloads in admin_id parameterCheck Version:
Check software documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test the edit_admin.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads to confirm they're properly sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in web logs
- Multiple failed login attempts to admin interface
- Suspicious queries containing SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
- SQL injection payloads in HTTP requests
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (uri="/intern/admin/edit_admin.php" AND (query="*admin_id=*" AND (query="*' OR *" OR query="*UNION*" OR query="*SELECT*")))
