🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation to sanitize ID parameter before processing

Add parameter validation in /admin/index.php: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }

Web Application Firewall Rule

all

Block SQL injection patterns in the ID parameter

WAF rule to block patterns like: UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, DROP, --, #, /*, */ in the ID parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls
  • Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web server

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test /admin/index.php with SQL injection payloads in ID parameter (e.g., ID=1' OR '1'='1)

Check Version:

Check software version in admin panel or readme files

Verify Fix Applied:

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

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts via admin interface
  • Suspicious parameter values containing SQL keywords

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual database queries originating from web server
  • Patterns of SQL injection attempts in HTTP requests

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (url="/admin/index.php" AND (param="ID" AND value MATCH "(?i)(union|select|insert|delete|drop|--|#)"))
