Exploitability
| 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a SQL injection issue in the Assessment Management 1.0 software, specifically in the /admin/add-module.php file. It occurs due to manipulation of the argument linked[], allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. The attack can be performed remotely and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute unauthorized SQL commands on the database, potentially leading to data leakage, data modification, or disruption of service. Since it can be exploited remotely without authentication, it poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The vulnerability allows unauthorized access, data leakage, and data tampering through SQL injection, which can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data. Such breaches can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity. Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in violations of these standards due to potential exposure or alteration of protected data. [1, 2]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'linked[]' parameter in the /admin/add-module.php file for SQL injection. Tools like sqlmap can be used to automate detection by sending crafted HTTP POST requests targeting the 'linked[]' parameter to check for SQL injection flaws. Additionally, manual testing can involve sending payloads that trigger MySQL errors or cause time delays (e.g., using SLEEP function) to observe abnormal responses. For example, using sqlmap with a command similar to: sqlmap -u "http://target/admin/add-module.php" --data="linked[]=test" --risk=3 --level=5 --batch. Also, Google dorking with the query "inurl:admin/add-module.php" can help locate potentially vulnerable targets on the network. [1, 2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, performing strict input validation and filtering on the 'linked[]' parameter, and minimizing database user privileges by avoiding high-privilege accounts for routine operations. Since no known countermeasures or patches are currently available, replacing the affected software with an alternative product is recommended. Prompt corrective action is critical to protect system security and maintain data integrity. [1, 2, 3]
