SQL Injection in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0

Compliance Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0 allows attackers to extract sensitive database information such as usernames and database details. This exposure of sensitive data can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access.

By enabling unauthorized data extraction, this vulnerability increases the risk of data breaches, potentially violating confidentiality and integrity requirements mandated by these standards.

Executive Summary

AiOPMSD Final 1.0.0 contains a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability identified as CVE-2018-25418. This vulnerability exists in the year.php file, where the 'year' parameter can be manipulated by unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code.

By sending specially crafted GET requests with malicious SQL payloads in the 'year' parameter, attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries on the database.

This allows them to extract sensitive information such as usernames, database names, and version details.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive database information.

• Attackers can extract usernames, which may lead to further unauthorized access.
• Database names and version details can be exposed, potentially aiding attackers in crafting more targeted attacks.
• Since the vulnerability allows execution of arbitrary SQL commands, it could lead to data leakage or manipulation.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted GET requests to the year.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'year' parameter and observing the response for database error messages or extracted data.

A common detection method is to use curl or similar tools to test the parameter for SQL injection, for example:

• curl "http://targetsite/year.php?year=2026' OR '1'='1"
• curl "http://targetsite/year.php?year=2026' UNION SELECT NULL, username, database(), version()-- "

If the response contains database usernames, database names, or version details, it indicates the presence of the SQL injection vulnerability.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include:

• Restrict access to the year.php endpoint to trusted users or internal networks to reduce exposure.
• Implement input validation and sanitization on the 'year' parameter to prevent injection of malicious SQL code.
• Use prepared statements or parameterized queries in the application code to handle user inputs safely.
• Monitor logs for suspicious requests targeting the year.php file with unusual parameter values.

Ultimately, update or patch AiOPMSD Final to a version that addresses this vulnerability once available.
