SQL injection vulnerability in index.php in Domain Seller Pro 1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter.
Domain Seller Pro 1.5 suffers from a critical SQL injection vulnerability, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This flaw can lead to complete database compromise, potentially exposing sensitive information and enabling full control of the affected web application. Successful exploitation grants attackers the ability to modify, delete, or exfiltrate data, causing significant operational disruption and data breaches.
Step 1: Payload Delivery: The attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request to index.php containing a specially crafted id parameter. This parameter includes SQL code designed to alter the query's behavior.
Step 2: Request Processing: The index.php script receives the HTTP request and retrieves the value of the id parameter.
Step 3: Query Construction: The script directly incorporates the attacker-supplied id value into a SQL query without sanitization or escaping.
Step 4: Query Execution: The vulnerable SQL query is executed against the database.
Step 5: SQL Injection: The malicious SQL code within the id parameter is interpreted by the database server.
Step 6: Data Manipulation: The attacker's injected SQL code executes, allowing them to perform actions such as retrieving sensitive data, modifying database records, or even executing arbitrary commands on the database server.
The vulnerability stems from a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into a SQL query. Specifically, the index.php script in Domain Seller Pro 1.5 directly uses the id parameter from the HTTP request without any validation or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code within the id parameter. The root cause is a lack of input validation and output encoding, specifically failing to escape special characters that have meaning in SQL syntax. This allows the attacker to manipulate the SQL query's logic, leading to unauthorized access and data manipulation. The absence of prepared statements or parameterized queries further exacerbates the issue, as these techniques would have prevented the injection of malicious SQL code.
While no specific APT groups are definitively linked to exploiting this particular CVE, the ease of exploitation and potential impact make it a target for various threat actors. This type of vulnerability is often leveraged by opportunistic attackers and botnets for data theft and website defacement. CISA KEV: Not Listed
