Technical Analysis & Mitigation Measures
1. Technical Attack Analysis:
– SQL Injection (T1153 – Source) : This attack technique allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries by injecting malicious SQL code through user input fields. In this case, the vulnerability exists in the `manage_category.php` file where the `id` argument can be exploited. Successful exploitation may allow the attacker to:
– Bypass authentication mechanisms.
– Retrieve sensitive data from the database, such as user credentials and personal information.
– Modify or delete data within the database.
– Execute administrative operations on the database.
– Gain access to the underlying server, potentially leading to further exploitation.
– Scheduled Task (T1053.002 – At) : If the attacker gains access to the system, they could potentially schedule malicious tasks or scripts to run at specific intervals, which could allow for persistence on the system and facilitate further attacks or data exfiltration.
2. Mitigation Measures:
– Input validation and sanitization of all parameters.
– Use prepared statements and parameterized queries.
– Restrict database permissions to the minimum necessary for the application.
– Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to filter and monitor HTTP traffic.
– Regularly update and patch the application and underlying systems.
– Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
– Implement logging and monitoring to detect unusual activity.
– Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.
