📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution on the database server.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database, including user credentials, personal information, and system configuration.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing successful exploitation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects an internet-facing administrative interface.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - If the system is only accessible internally, risk is reduced but still significant for internal attackers.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available. Attack requires access to the admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated.

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Implement workarounds or consider alternative software.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the Title parameter in add_activity.php

Modify /admin/add_activity.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO activities (title) VALUES (?)'); $stmt->bind_param('s', $title);

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the Title parameter

Add WAF rule: Detect and block SQL keywords in POST parameters to /admin/add_activity.php

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict access to /admin/ directory to specific IP addresses only
  • Disable the add_activity.php functionality if not required

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test the Title parameter in /admin/add_activity.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check the software version in the admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return error messages

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • SQL syntax errors in web server logs
  • Unusual database queries from web application
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by SQL injection attempts

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /admin/add_activity.php containing SQL keywords
  • Unusual database traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND (url="/admin/add_activity.php" AND (request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "SELECT" OR request_body CONTAINS "OR '1'='1"))
