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. |

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'CVE-2026-3042 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability found in itsourcecode Event Management System version 1.0, specifically in an unknown function within the file /admin/index.php.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "The vulnerability occurs because the application improperly handles the 'ID' parameter, allowing an attacker to manipulate this argument to inject malicious SQL code."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This flaw corresponds to CWE-89, where SQL commands are constructed using externally influenced input without proper neutralization of special characters, enabling modification of the intended SQL command.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'The attack can be carried out remotely without requiring any authentication, making it highly accessible to attackers.'}] [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Attackers can exploit it to perform unauthorized database access, leak sensitive data, tamper with data, gain full system control, and disrupt services.
Since no authentication is required to exploit this flaw, it increases the risk and severity of attacks, threatening system security and business continuity.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
I don't know
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'id' parameter in the /admin/index.php file for SQL injection. One method is to use a time-based blind SQL injection payload to observe delays indicating successful injection."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'A proof-of-concept payload example is: page=manage_venue&id=1 AND (SELECT 9177 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))lumS), which causes a delay if the injection is successful.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'You can also use automated tools like sqlmap to detect the vulnerability with a command such as:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'python sqlmap.py --random-agent --batch -u "http://<target-ip>:<port>/admin/index.php?page=manage_venue&id=1" -p id --dbms=mysql --current-db'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Additionally, attackers may identify vulnerable targets using Google dorking with queries like "inurl:admin/index.php".'}] [1, 2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements and parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, preventing SQL injection.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Strictly validate and filter all inputs, ensuring they conform to expected formats such as numeric patterns for IDs.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Minimize database user permissions by avoiding the use of high-privilege accounts like 'root' or 'admin' for routine database operations."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Conduct regular security audits to detect and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'If possible, consider replacing the affected product with an alternative solution, as no known countermeasures or patches are currently identified.'}] [1, 2]
