| 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include restricting access to the vulnerable login-exec.php endpoint, applying input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection, and monitoring for suspicious login attempts.
If a patch or updated version of Gate Pass Management System 2.1 is available, apply it promptly to fix the vulnerability.
As a temporary measure, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting the login and password parameters.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
Gate Pass Management System version 2.1 contains a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in the login-exec.php file.
This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code through the login and password parameters in crafted POST requests.
By exploiting this flaw, attackers can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the application without valid credentials.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts as it allows attackers to bypass authentication controls.
Attackers can gain unauthorized access to the Gate Pass Management System, potentially exposing sensitive data or manipulating system functions.
Since the exploit requires no privileges or user interaction, it poses a high risk of compromise.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by sending crafted POST requests to the login-exec.php file with SQL injection payloads in the login and password parameters to test if authentication can be bypassed.
A typical detection method involves using tools like curl or specialized vulnerability scanners to submit SQL injection payloads and observe if unauthorized access is granted.
- Example curl command to test the vulnerability: curl -X POST -d "login=' OR '1'='1' -- &password=' OR '1'='1' -- " http://target-site/login-exec.php
- Monitor network traffic for unusual POST requests to login-exec.php with suspicious payloads in login and password fields.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the Gate Pass Management System 2.1. Such unauthorized access can lead to exposure or manipulation of sensitive data, which may violate data protection requirements under common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
By enabling attackers to access the system without valid credentials, this SQL injection flaw undermines the confidentiality and integrity of data, potentially resulting in non-compliance with regulations that mandate strict access controls and protection of personal or sensitive information.
