CWE ID Description
CWE-74 The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an unauthenticated SQL injection in the file-management-system-php application. The flaw exists in the download.php file where the id parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a SQL query. This allows attackers to manipulate the query using UNION SELECT attacks to read arbitrary files or extract database contents. The vulnerability affects PHP 7.x with MySQL/MariaDB and requires no authentication for exploitation.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability, inspect the download.php file for unsanitized user input in the ID parameter. Check for UNION SELECT statements in HTTP requests to download.php. Use tools like sqlmap to test for SQLi by sending payloads such as ' OR 1=1 -- or ../../../../../etc/passwd. Monitor database queries for unexpected file path or sensitive data leaks.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to read sensitive files like system configurations or application source code containing database credentials. They could also traverse directories to access restricted files such as /etc/passwd. Additionally, the attacker may extract the entire database contents, leading to severe data breaches and loss of confidentiality.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates compliance requirements under GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized access to sensitive data. GDPR mandates protection of personal data, and HIPAA requires safeguarding protected health information. A breach could result in legal penalties, fines, and reputational damage for organizations handling regulated data.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately patch the application by updating to the latest version if available. If no patch exists, disable the download.php file or restrict access via server rules. Sanitize the ID parameter using prepared statements or input validation. Implement WAF rules to block SQLi patterns like UNION SELECT or path traversal attempts. Review database permissions to limit file access.
