CWE ID Description
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.
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.

AI Powered Q&A
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

The SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Content Management System 1.0 could lead to unauthorized database access, sensitive data leakage, data tampering, and full system control. Such impacts can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.

This type of vulnerability can negatively affect compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of personal and sensitive data against unauthorized access and breaches.

Failure to mitigate this vulnerability could result in violations of these regulations, potentially leading to legal penalties, loss of trust, and damage to organizational reputation.


Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw found in the itsourcecode Content Management System version 1.0. It specifically affects the 'topic_id' parameter in the /instructions.php file. The parameter does not properly sanitize or validate user input, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code.

The attack can be initiated remotely and does not require prior authentication or access to the system. Exploits have been publicly released, making it easier for attackers to leverage this weakness.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access and manipulation. Attackers can leak sensitive data, tamper with data, gain full control over the system, and cause service interruptions.

  • Unauthorized database access
  • Sensitive data leakage
  • Data tampering
  • Full system control
  • Service interruption

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?

This SQL injection vulnerability in the 'topic_id' parameter of /instructions.php can be detected by attempting to exploit the parameter using SQL injection testing tools.

One common method is to use the sqlmap tool to test the 'topic_id' parameter for SQL injection vulnerabilities, including time-based blind and UNION query payloads.

  • Example sqlmap command: sqlmap -u "http://targetsite/instructions.php?topic_id=1" --batch --technique=BEUSTQ --time-sec=5
  • Alternatively, manual testing can be done by injecting SQL payloads such as ' OR 1=1-- into the topic_id parameter and observing the response.

What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection.

Additionally, strict input validation and filtering should be applied to the 'topic_id' parameter to ensure only valid input is accepted.

Minimizing database user permissions to the least privileges necessary can reduce the impact of a potential exploit.

Regular security audits and code reviews are recommended to identify and fix similar vulnerabilities.
