🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if /ramonsys/settings/controller.php exists and contains unsanitized ID parameter usageCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with SQL injection payloads (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) in ID parameter and verify proper error handling📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
- Unexpected database queries
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND ("controller.php" AND ("OR 1=1" OR "UNION SELECT" OR "--"))
