Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') (CWE-89)
A critical vulnerability has been discovered in code-projects Crud Operation System version 1.0. The vulnerability affects unknown code in the file delete.php. The issue stems from improper input validation, allowing for SQL injection attacks through the manipulation of the 'sid' argument. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring user interaction or special privileges.
The impact of this vulnerability is severe. If exploited, an attacker could potentially: 1. Gain unauthorized access to the database, compromising data confidentiality. 2. Modify or delete database contents, affecting data integrity. 3. Execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to full system compromise. 4. Disrupt service availability by manipulating or damaging the database. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical) indicates that this vulnerability has high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector being network-based with low complexity and no required privileges makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous and easily exploitable.
One proof-of-concept exploit is available on github.com. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
As of the latest information provided, there is no mention of an available patch for this vulnerability. The security team should closely monitor for updates from code-projects regarding a security patch for Crud Operation System 1.0.
Until a patch is available, consider the following mitigation strategies: 1. Implement strong input validation and sanitization for all user inputs, especially for the 'sid' parameter in delete.php. 2. Use prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. 3. Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application. 4. Consider temporarily disabling or restricting access to the affected delete.php file if possible without disrupting critical operations. 5. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts. 6. Monitor database and application logs for any suspicious activities or unauthorized access attempts. 7. If feasible, consider upgrading to a newer version of the software if one becomes available, or evaluate alternative solutions that are not vulnerable to this attack.
