CVE-2026-24416
📋 TL;DR
OpenSTAManager v2.9.8 and earlier contain a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the article pricing completion handler. Attackers can exploit this to extract sensitive database information through time-based blind SQL injection techniques. All users running affected versions are vulnerable.
💻 Affected Systems
- OpenSTAManager
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including extraction of sensitive customer data, financial records, authentication credentials, and potential lateral movement to other systems.
Likely Case
Extraction of sensitive business data including customer information, financial records, and proprietary business data from the database.
If Mitigated
Limited data exposure if database permissions are properly restricted and network segmentation is in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires access to the article pricing functionality but does not require authentication. Time-based blind SQL injection requires specialized tools and knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v2.9.9 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/devcode-it/openstamanager/security/advisories/GHSA-p864-fqgv-92q4
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your database and application files. 2. Download the latest version from the official repository. 3. Replace the vulnerable files with patched versions. 4. Restart the web server. 5. Verify the fix by testing the article pricing functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize the idarticolo parameter before processing
Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations involving idarticolo
Web Application Firewall
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules
Configure WAF to block requests containing SQL injection patterns in the idarticolo parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate OpenSTAManager from sensitive systems
- Deploy database monitoring to detect unusual query patterns and access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your OpenSTAManager version is 2.9.8 or earlier and if the article pricing functionality is accessibleCheck Version:
Check the version.php file or application settings for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test the article pricing completion handler with SQL injection payloads and verify they are rejected📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusually long response times from article pricing requests
- Multiple failed requests to article pricing endpoints with SQL-like patterns
Network Indicators:
- Repeated requests to article pricing endpoints with varying idarticolo parameters
- Requests containing SQL keywords like SLEEP, WAITFOR, BENCHMARK
SIEM Query:
source="web_server_logs" AND (uri="*article*pricing*" OR uri="*idarticolo*") AND (response_time>5000 OR request_contains("SLEEP") OR request_contains("WAITFOR"))
