🛠️ 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
allAdd 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
allBlock 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
