🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database queries from the application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/manage_booking.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: manage_booking.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with the same payloads after implementing fixes - should return error or no data instead of executing SQL📡 Detection & Monitoring
