SQL injection vulnerability in cart.php in digiSHOP 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-4614.1.
digiSHOP 2.0.2 is vulnerable to a critical SQL injection flaw, allowing attackers to remotely execute arbitrary SQL commands. This could lead to complete database compromise, including the theft of sensitive customer data and potential server takeover, causing significant business disruption and reputational damage.
Step 1: Payload Delivery: The attacker crafts a malicious SQL injection payload, targeting the id parameter in the cart.php script.
Step 2: Request Submission: The attacker sends an HTTP GET or POST request to cart.php with the crafted payload embedded in the id parameter.
Step 3: Query Execution: The vulnerable cart.php script receives the request and incorporates the attacker's payload directly into a SQL query without sanitization.
Step 4: SQL Injection: The database server executes the modified SQL query, which now includes the attacker's malicious commands.
Step 5: Data Exfiltration/Manipulation: Depending on the payload, the attacker can then retrieve sensitive data (e.g., usernames, passwords, credit card information), modify existing data, or potentially execute arbitrary commands on the database server.
The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation of the id parameter within the cart.php script. The application directly incorporates user-supplied input into SQL queries without proper sanitization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code, altering the intended query logic and enabling unauthorized data access or modification. The root cause is a failure to implement parameterized queries or other secure coding practices to prevent SQL injection.
While no specific APTs are definitively linked to this specific CVE, the nature of SQL injection makes it a common attack vector used by various threat actors, including those seeking financial gain (e.g., data theft for resale) and those seeking to establish a foothold for further attacks. This vulnerability could be used as part of a larger attack chain. CISA KEV: Not Listed
Web application firewall (WAF) logs showing suspicious SQL syntax in HTTP requests to cart.php, specifically targeting the id parameter.
Database server logs revealing unusual query activity, such as unexpected data retrieval or modification, originating from the web server's IP address.
Network traffic analysis identifying SQL injection attempts, characterized by the presence of SQL keywords (e.g., SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE) within HTTP request parameters.
File integrity monitoring detecting unauthorized modifications to cart.php or related database files.
Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements in all database interactions to prevent SQL injection. This separates the SQL code from the user-supplied input.
Sanitize and validate all user-supplied input, especially the id parameter, to ensure it conforms to expected data types and formats. Use input validation libraries.
Apply the latest security patches for digiSHOP 2.0.2 or upgrade to a more secure version. If patching is not possible, consider a complete system rebuild.
Implement a web application firewall (WAF) to filter malicious traffic and block SQL injection attempts. Configure the WAF with specific rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads.
Regularly scan the web application for vulnerabilities using automated vulnerability scanners.
Review and harden the database server configuration, including limiting user privileges and enabling auditing.
Implement a defense-in-depth strategy, including intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor for malicious activity.
