Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring for suspicious POST requests to the '/private/continue-upload.php' endpoint that include the 'phonenumber' parameter. Specifically, attempts to inject SQL code via this parameter may indicate exploitation attempts.

Commands to detect such activity could include using network monitoring tools or web server logs to filter requests. For example, using grep on web server logs to find POST requests with 'phonenumber' parameter:

• grep -i 'POST /private/continue-upload.php' /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep 'phonenumber='

Additionally, tools like sqlmap can be used to test the endpoint for SQL injection vulnerabilities by targeting the 'phonenumber' parameter.
